7" Depressed Centre wheel About

A depressed centre wheel is a type of abrasive grinding or cutting wheel whose center is recessed (depressed) below the plane of the outer rim. This design allows the wheel to be mounted on an angle grinder without the mounting flange or nut protruding beyond the working surface.

Features

• Recessed center section for safe mounting.
• Outer rim performs the grinding or cutting action.
• Typically reinforced with fiberglass for strength.
• Available in different diameters, thicknesses, and abrasive materials.

Uses

• Grinding welds and metal surfaces.
• Removing rust, scale, and excess material.
• Cutting metal, stone, or masonry (depending on wheel type).
• Surface preparation and finishing.

Advantages

• Provides better access to the workpiece.
• Allows flush grinding without interference from the mounting hardware.
• Suitable for high-speed operation on angle grinders.
