Contact Wheel Analysis Chart

SERRATED WHEELS: Faster cutting and longer belt life.
HARD WHEELS: Remove more stock than softer wheels, with a coarser finish.
SMALLER WHEEL DIAMETERS: Faster cutting, producing a coarser finish.

Higher speeds will produce a better finish, but caution must be used. Excessive speeds tend to harden a soft wheel. Always use the proper wheel hardness and machine speed.
