250 mm Silicon Carbide Wheel (full set)

Description

Introducing our high-performance, full-size silicon carbide wheels!

Available here as a full set, capable of effectively handling even the most demanding alloys.

1 x #80 grit

1 x #160 grit

1 x #400 grit

Each wheel can also be purchased individually, or as a set of two — however, the best price per unit is achived when bought as a full set.

Suitable for both wet and dry use.

Key Benefits:

Silicon carbide crystals are uniquely sharp and needle-like.

Combined with their high hardness, this allows for significantly faster metal removal compared to conventional aluminum oxide or natural stones.

Silicon carbide are highly efficient when you need to remove major chips, repair a rolled edge, or completely reprofile a bevel angle.

Ability to cut hard, modern tool steels.

High-end pocket knives and premium chef’s knives often utilize ultra-hard martensitic tool steels or high-carbide alloys (such as D2, M4, CPM-10V, or hard Japanese steels).

Softer abrasives may simply glide or skate across these steels without cutting.

However, since black silicon carbide ranks up to 9.5 on the Mohs scale, it easily bites into and effectively grinds these advanced alloys without glazing over.

Continuous Self-Sharpening.

Black silicon carbide is a friable abrasive. As you push the knife edge across the wheel, the exposed crystals don’t just dull down; instead, they fracture under pressure. This micro-fracturing continuously breaks away worn edges to expose fresh, razor-sharp underlying crystal points. This means your stone maintains a high cutting efficiency without constantly getting smooth or “clogged” with metal swarf.

Our silicon carbide wheels form the basis of our Enthusiast series – and are an excellent choice for anyone seeking a wider range of uses and greater maneuverability from their wheels.
