250mm Hard-Treated Airflow Cutting Wheel – Single Section is a large-diameter wheel for heavy cutting after abrasive preparation. Its ventilated folded-cloth construction allows air to move through the working face, helping control heat while providing efficient coverage on larger metal surfaces.
Applications and polishing role
Use on compatible aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel and other suitable metals at the correct stage. This wheel belongs at the heavy cutting after abrasive preparation stage; complete earlier preparation before moving to softer wheels.
Compound and process guidance
- Pair with a suitable cutting compound selected for the metal.
- Apply compound sparingly and recharge in small amounts.
- Use one wheel per compound and compatible metal group.
- Move to the next softer stage only after achieving a uniform surface.
Specifications
- Diameter: 250mm
- Construction: Single section
- Material: Hard-treated folded cloth
- Centre hole: 16mm
- Primary stage: Heavy cutting after abrasive preparation
- Supply: One wheel
Use maroon non-woven for satin preparation, hard or coarse treated cloth for cutting, medium treated cloth for refinement and natural calico for fine finishing. The larger diameter increases coverage and surface speed, so confirm the machine is designed for a 250mm wheel. Dedicate every cloth wheel to one compound and metal group.
Machine and mounting compatibility
Use only on a machine specifically capable of safely operating a 250mm wheel with the correct spindle, centre plates, safety flanges, guards and clearances. Confirm centre size, shaft length, rotation and maximum permitted speed. The 16mm-centre cloth wheels require suitable Airflow safety flanges.
How to use
- Isolate the machine and inspect the wheel and mounting components.
- Mount securely and run briefly without load while standing clear.
- Charge lightly with the selected compound.
- Keep the work moving and inspect frequently to control heat and maintain an even result.
- Stop if vibration, damage or abnormal noise develops; dress cloth wheels when loaded.
Safety
Wear appropriate eye and face protection, hearing protection and respiratory protection where required. Secure small workpieces, use close-fitting clothing, tie back hair, remove jewellery and keep snagging items away from the rotating wheel.
