Grinding Wheels & Accessories

Shape, Sharpen and Finish Metal with Professional Grinding Wheels and Accessories

Grinding wheels are the consumable at the heart of surface grinding, bench grinding, cylindrical grinding and tool sharpening — used across engineering workshops, fabrication shops, toolrooms and maintenance departments.

Wheel grade, grit size, abrasive type and diameter all affect cut rate, surface finish and wheel life. Using the wrong wheel for the material wastes product and can create safety risks.

AIMS Industrial sells and extensive range of grinding wheels from Norton, Pferd, Flexovit and Klingspor — globally recognised abrasives manufacturers supplying precision grinding products to industry across Australia.

The Grinding Wheels & Accessories Range

Our extensive range covers bench grinding wheels, cup wheels, taper cup wheels and accessories in aluminium oxide and other abrasive grades from 100mm to 150mm diameter.

• Norton: Norton supplies grinding wheels and accessories including the White Aluminium Oxide series — a friable, cool-cutting abrasive particularly suited to tool and cutter grinding, HSS tool sharpening and precision surface grinding where heat-sensitive materials must be kept cool during the grind. Norton’s range spans bench grinding wheels, cup wheels and accessories for a broad range of workshop and production applications.
• Pferd: Pferd supplies grinding wheels and accessories including Flared Conical Cup Wheels for use on angle grinders and right-angle grinders. Pferd is a German precision abrasives brand known for consistent wheel quality and geometry accuracy — important in applications where the cup wheel shape directly influences the ground surface profile.
• Flexovit: Flexovit supplies grinding wheels covering general-purpose bench and surface grinding applications. Flexovit is a widely used abrasives brand across Australian manufacturing, fabrication and maintenance sectors, offering reliable performance across standard steel and cast iron grinding tasks.
• Klingspor: Klingspor supplies grinding wheels including taper cup wheels in 100–150mm diameters. Klingspor is a German abrasives manufacturer producing premium bonded abrasive products for professional grinding applications in steel, stone and concrete.

Choosing the Right Grinding Wheel

Matching the wheel to the application prevents premature wear, poor surface finish and safety issues from wheel loading or glazing.

• Abrasive Type: Aluminium oxide (including white aluminium oxide) is the standard abrasive for steel, HSS and tool grinding. Silicon carbide is used for non-ferrous metals, cast iron, stone and ceramics. Using the wrong abrasive type causes rapid glazing and reduced cut rate.
• Grit Size: Coarser grits (24–46) remove material faster but leave a rougher surface. Finer grits (60–120) produce smoother finishes and are used for sharpening and precision work. Match grit to whether you’re roughing, blending or finishing.
• Wheel Format: Flat bench wheels suit pedestal and bench grinders for tool sharpening and general grinding. Cup wheels (straight and flared conical) are used on angle grinders for surface and weld grinding. Taper cup wheels are used for concrete and masonry grinding on right-angle grinders.
