Industrial abrasives for fabrication, grinding and finishing
GODOWN sources industrial abrasives for fabrication bays, toolrooms and maintenance workshops: cut-off wheels and grinding discs, flap discs, bonded grinding wheels, coated and non-woven abrasives, mounted points, diamond and CBN wheels, and wire brushes.
Abrasives are MRO consumables: issued every day and bought by the box. Each disc is identified by type, size and the material it is for (a 125 × 1 × 22.23 INOX cut-off wheel, say), and resin-bonded discs carry an expiry date, so buy to consumption and check the date at GRN rather than stocking up.
Buy abrasives through GODOWN alongside everything else the plant uses: competitive quotes per piece or per box, one PO per plant, and a GST tax invoice with every delivery to your gate. Face shields and gloves for grinding bays are under safety and PPE.
Abrasives we source for plants
Cut-off wheels
Thin, reinforced resin-bonded discs for cutting steel, stainless and pipe on angle grinders and chop saws. Thin 1 mm discs cut faster with less burr; thicker discs last longer.
Depressed-centre grinding discs
Type 27 resin-bonded discs for weld grinding and heavy stock removal on angle grinders.
Flap discs
Overlapping coated-abrasive flaps on a backing plate, for blending welds and finishing in one step, in zirconia, ceramic or aluminium oxide grit.
Bonded grinding wheels
Vitrified and resin-bonded wheels for surface, cylindrical and centreless grinders, and bench grinder wheels for the maintenance shop. Specified by size, abrasive, grit, grade and bond.
Coated abrasives
Sanding belts, sheets, rolls and fibre discs on cloth, paper or fibre backing, for finishing metal, wood and painted surfaces.
Non-woven abrasives
Surface-conditioning discs, hand pads and wheels for deburring, cleaning and satin finishing without changing dimensions.
Mounted points and rotary burrs
Small vitrified points on shanks for die grinders, and tungsten carbide burrs for deburring and shaping castings and welds.
Diamond and CBN wheels
Superabrasive wheels for toolrooms: diamond for grinding carbide tools, CBN for hardened steel.
Wire brushes
Cup, wheel and end brushes in crimped or twisted-knot wire for removing rust, scale and weld spatter.
What to put on a abrasives indent
Vendors quote the right part first time when the indent carries these. Missing details mean a round of calls before anyone can quote.
- Type and shape: flat cut-off (Type 41), depressed-centre cut-off (Type 42), depressed-centre grinding disc (Type 27), flat or conical flap disc (T27 or T29), straight wheel (Type 1).
- Dimensions: outside diameter × thickness × bore in mm, such as 125 × 1 × 22.23 for an angle-grinder cut-off wheel or 200 × 25 × 31.75 for a bench grinder wheel.
- Material to be cut or ground: mild steel, stainless (iron- and sulphur-free discs, usually marked INOX), cast iron, aluminium or stone. The abrasive and bond change with it.
- Abrasive and grit: aluminium oxide, zirconia, ceramic or silicon carbide, with a grit number from coarse (24, 36, 40) to fine (120 and above).
- For precision wheels, the full marking from the label, such as A 60 K 5 V (abrasive, grit, grade, structure and bond).
- Maximum operating speed: the wheel's rated speed must be at or above the machine's spindle speed, so check the grinder's nameplate rpm.
- Quantity in pieces or boxes, and whether an equivalent brand is acceptable.
- A long remaining shelf life on resin-bonded discs, whose expiry date is marked on the metal centre ring.

Buying abrasives: common questions
How do I read the marking on a grinding wheel?
A grinding wheel's marking gives five things in order: abrasive, grit, grade, structure and bond. In A 60 K 5 V, A is aluminium oxide, 60 is a medium grit, K is the grade (bond hardness, from A for soft to Z for hard), 5 is the structure or grain spacing, and V is a vitrified bond; B would mean resin. Makers add their own prefixes and suffixes, so copy the whole marking and the dimensions onto the indent.
What does INOX mean on a cutting disc?
INOX discs are made for stainless steel and contain almost no iron, sulphur or chlorine, which would otherwise contaminate the cut surface and cause rust spots later. Use them on stainless pipe, tanks and fittings, especially in food and pharma plants where the surface matters. They cut mild steel too, but standard discs are cheaper for that. Store stainless and mild steel discs apart so they are not mixed up on the shop floor.
Do grinding and cutting discs expire?
Resin-bonded discs do. Cut-off wheels and depressed-centre grinding discs carry an expiry date, usually stamped on the metal centre ring, because the resin bond weakens with age and humidity and an old disc can break at speed. Vitrified wheels do not carry one. Buy resin-bonded discs to your consumption rather than in bulk, issue the oldest stock first, and check the date on the ring at GRN.
What size cutting disc fits my angle grinder?
Use the diameter the grinder and its guard are built for, with the matching bore and a rated speed at or above the grinder's rpm. Small 100 mm (4 inch) grinders, common in Indian workshops, usually take 100 to 105 mm discs with a 16 mm bore; 125 mm and 180 mm grinders take a 22.23 mm bore. Never fit a larger disc by removing the guard. The grinder's nameplate gives the disc size and rpm for the indent.
