Rubberhog wheels perform better than simple abrasive wheels or belts because of their unique construction. Rubberhog wheels feature an accurate steel form coated with a layer of very sharp, conical “teeth” made of extremely hard materials.

Rubberhog teeth are arranged to allow fast penetration into the work and unrestricted flow of cuttings away from the wheel. This provides a free-cutting action similar to a milling device, drastically reducing the time required to grind most parts.

Rubberhog wheels can provide a service life as much as hundreds of times that of conventional abrasives. Rubberhog wheels are usually “pre-dressed,” to maintain rapid material removal while producing a good surface finish on the workpiece.
