Precision Foundry Portable Wheels for Heavy Grinding
Carborundum Grinding Wheel Company manufactures high-performance resin-bond foundry wheels engineered for snagging, gate and riser removal, and casting cleanup. Our Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Carbide, and Zirconia-Alumina blends are formulated for fast stock removal, cool cutting, and long wheel life on gray iron, ductile iron, and stainless steel castings.
Available in reinforced and non-reinforced constructions, our wheels deliver balanced operation, reduced loading, and dependable performance in portable, cup, and plug configurations.
Applications in Foundry Grinding
Our wheels are used for:
Gate and riser removal
Casting cleanup and flash removal
Snagging and surface blending
Ferrous and select nonferrous metal finishing
Carborundum offers reinforced and non-reinforced wheels in industry-standard types and sizes, including:
- Non-Reinforced: Tp-1, Tp-5, Tp-6, Tp-7, Tp-11
- Reinforced: Tp-1 (6″ to 12″ core files)

Performance Highlights
Carborundum’s open-structured resin bonds are engineered for free-cutting action, consistent sharpness, and stable performance across shift-to-shift variations. Each wheel is tuned for the right blend of toughness and friability to match gray iron, ductile iron, or stainless steel casting characteristics.
Our wheels cut cooler, resist loading, and maintain edge integrity—even under the impact and variable pressure common in portable grinding.
Material & Bond Options
We offer a full range of abrasive combinations, including:
- Aluminum Oxide for general-purpose ferrous grinding
- Silicon Carbide for nonferrous or heat-sensitive alloys
- Zirconia-Alumina Blends for maximum stock removal and extended life.
Each formulation is optimized for foundry environments requiring high cut rates and repeatable results.
Safety & Compliance
All Carborundum foundry wheels are ANSI B7.1 compliant and rated for their maximum operating speeds. Reinforced wheels include safety cloth layers for added lateral stability. Every product is manufactured in the USA and fully traceable.
