Buying advice

Choose wheel type (grinding, cutting, or flap disc) based on your task. For heavy material removal, prioritize durability and grain type (ceramic vs. aluminum oxide). Ensure size matches your grinder (4-1/2" is most common) and check max RPM rating. Premium wheels like 3M Cubitron II cost more but last longer, while budget options like Sait are fine for occasional use.
