Product Description

Product Overview

The GC Abrasives 6" x 2" Non-Woven Polishing Wheel is an industrial abrasive wheel developed for cleaning, blending, surface conditioning and finishing applications where controlled abrasive action and consistent surface quality are required.

The wheel combines white aluminum oxide abrasive with a resilient non-woven fiber structure. The three-dimensional construction allows the working surface to conform to the workpiece while maintaining controlled abrasive contact. GC's existing product information identifies white aluminum oxide and positions this wheel family for metal wire-drawing and finishing operations.

Unlike conventional rigid grinding wheels designed primarily for high stock removal, this non-woven wheel focuses on surface refinement. It is suitable for blending scratches, refining previous processing marks, removing light oxidation and producing a more consistent surface before subsequent finishing.

Its 2-inch-wide working face provides greater surface coverage than a 1-inch wheel, making this configuration particularly useful for larger components and production finishing.

Technical Data

For the current 6" × 2" specification, GC lists U0/3P, U1/5P, U3/7P, U5/9P and U8/12P.

I recommend adding the actual bore size, abrasive grade/grit and maximum RPM only after confirming those specifications for this exact GC SKU.

Key Features

◉ 2-Inch Wide Working Face

The wide working surface provides greater contact area for efficient finishing of larger components, panels and fabricated metal parts.

◉ White Aluminum Oxide Abrasive

Provides controlled abrasive action for general metal cleaning, blending and surface-finishing applications.

◉ Three-Dimensional Non-Woven Structure

The resilient abrasive network conforms to the workpiece and provides consistent contact during finishing.

◉ Five Density Options

Available in 3P, 5P, 7P, 9P and 12P, providing different levels of flexibility and firmness for different finishing requirements.

◉ Controlled Material Removal

Designed for surface refinement rather than aggressive grinding, helping preserve the geometry of the workpiece.

◉ Effective Scratch Blending

Helps blend sanding marks, machining lines and minor surface imperfections into a more uniform finish.

◉ Open Abrasive Structure

The porous non-woven construction provides space for debris and airflow during surface-finishing operations.

◉ Consistent Surface Finish

Suitable for industrial applications requiring repeatable blending, conditioning and decorative finishing.

Applications

◉ Stainless Steel Finishing

Ideal for conditioning stainless steel sheets, fabricated components and hardware where a uniform surface appearance is required.

◉ Scratch & Machine Mark Blending

Helps refine sanding lines, machining marks and minor scratches left by previous processing stages.

◉ Surface Conditioning

Creates a more consistent surface between grinding, fabrication and subsequent finishing processes.

◉ Light Deburring

Suitable for refining small burrs and edges where aggressive grinding is unnecessary.

◉ Light Oxidation Removal

Helps remove light oxidation, discoloration and surface contamination while simultaneously conditioning the surface.

◉ Grain & Satin Finishing

With the appropriate density and abrasive grade, the wheel can be used for directional grain and satin-finishing operations.

◉ Hardware Finishing

Suitable for surface processing of handles, hinges, locks and other architectural or furniture hardware. These applications are also represented in GC's existing non-woven polishing-wheel content.

◉ Non-Ferrous Metal Finishing

Suitable specifications can be selected for aluminum, copper and other compatible non-ferrous metal components.

Density Selection Guide

This is particularly important for the 6" × 2" product because all five GC density options are available.

Recommended Website Graphic

3P → 5P → 7P → 9P → 12P

MORE FLEXIBLE → MORE FIRM

CONFORMABILITY → BALANCED FINISHING → CONTROLLED CONTACT

Keep density and grit separate. A 7P wheel, for example, should not automatically be described as a specific abrasive grit.

Why Choose the 6" x 2" Size?

WIDER CONTACT • GREATER COVERAGE • PRODUCTION FINISHING

Compared with a 6" × 1" wheel, the 6" × 2" configuration provides twice the nominal working width.

This makes it particularly useful when the objective is to cover broader surfaces efficiently rather than concentrate abrasive contact on a narrow area.

Recommended Positioning

6" × 1" → CONTROL & VERSATILITY

6" × 2" → COVERAGE & PRODUCTIVITY
