Weiler Abrasives' Wheels Increase Grinding Efficiency

Weiler Abrasives, a provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface conditioning, has announced its Tiger 2.0 zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide cutting, grinding and combo wheels.

Designed for metal fabrication industries such as shipbuilding, pressure vessels and heavy equipment fabrication, Tiger 2.0 wheels are said to last up to 40% longer to increase efficiency in operations’ cutting and grinding applications. The wheels feature a blotter design that includes a patent-pending Optimum Use Line. The line is a visual indicator that helps the operator use the wheel to its full life. This innovation reduces changeovers, enabling greater productivity while also reducing waste and abrasive spend.

Tiger 2.0 grinding wheels feature anti-chipping technology, an advanced bond formulation that reduces uneven edge wear and chipping to improve safety and the user experience, as well as extend wheel life.

All of the wheels deliver smooth, predictable cutting and grinding — making the work safer. The addition of a QR code on the wheels makes it convenient for operators to access crucial safety information where and when they need it.

Weiler Abrasives’ Tiger 2.0 wheels produce consistent results among different users to reduce training time and minimize rework. According to the company, the wheels also make cutting and grinding easier to lessen operator fatigue. They are available in Type 1, Type 27 and Type 28 options. These wheels range in size from 4" to 9" and are intended for use on portable angle grinders.
