Contact Wheels

Rubber (neoprene or urethane) contact wheels come in many hardnesses to fit a variety of grinding and finishing needs. The face of rubber wheels can be shaped to aid in polishing recesses and radii. Neoprene wheels can also be serrated to increase cut rate and increase belt life.

Large – more than 5″ in diameter and have a 1 ½” arbor hole. Does not come with hub/shaft.

Wheels are ordered by specifying:

Plain or serrated
Shaft type (for wheels 5 inches or less in diameter)
- HDBJ
- Tapered
- Lock-in
Wheel diameter
Rubber hardness
- Hard – (90 durometer) for aggressive cutting with coarse grit belts.
- Medium – (70 durometer) for a good balance of cutting and operator comfort.
- Soft – (50 durometer) for fine finishing with fine grit abrasive belts.

3″ diameter and smaller are rated for 3000 SFPM or less.
Urethane wheels are available at a price multiplier of 1.5. Similar to standard large and small neoprene. Not available in serrated.
