150mm grinding wheel for cutting, grinding, sharpening, surface removal, finishing and polishing operations. Thousands of products are available in a wide range of materials including discs, pads, 150mm grinding wheels, stars, bonding, diamonds and more. In the first article in this series, we discussed how to select a 150mm grinding wheel for grinding or cutting operations.
General considerations for selecting a 150mm grinding wheel
- Application
- Workpiece material
- Tools used – hand-held grinders or fixed positions (desktop or stand-alone); fixed equipment will rotate faster than hand-held tools

Application and workpiece materials can affect the required 150mm grinding wheel material and carborundum grinding wheels thickness. The speed depends on what you need to do and the tools you will be using. If all kinds of 150mm grinding wheels are ready, check the specifications – speed (rpm), shaft diameter, material, and grit printed on the hub. The lower the number of sand grains, the rougher the surface of the 150mm grinding wheel. Also consider the hub type. Some 150mm grinding wheels are intended to be used in a vertical or horizontal position or in a specific manner, so hub mounting is important. When you have to perform different operations in a short time, it is very convenient to quickly change the disc. Think carefully about these factors before buying an abrasive grinding wheel.

Grinding and cutting
Type 1 (straight) and Type 27 (biased hub) are two common 150mm grinding wheels for grinding and cutting. Type 1 wheels for cutting and grooving are mounted at 90°. The Type 27 wheel can be used for cutting and grinding with a mounting angle of 90° or 15° to 30°.
Always wear protective goggles, hearing protection and gloves when using power tools.
