Tag Archives: Contact wheel Durometer

Choosing the right durometer for contact wheels on a 2×72 belt grinder is crucial for achieving optimal results in beveling, stock removal, and finishes. High durometer wheels (70A to 90A) offer rigidity for aggressive stock removal, while low durometer wheels (40A to 60A) provide flexibility for contouring and blending. Understanding these dynamics enhances grinding efficiency and reduces belt wear.
