Forney 60026 Mounted Grinding Point 1/4-Inch Shank Silver Grey 1-1/4″

Description

Product Overview

The Forney 60026 Mounted Grinding Point is engineered for precision metalworking, featuring a robust 1/4‑inch shank that securely fits standard high‑speed drills. Constructed from premium 60‑grit aluminum oxide, the abrasive material delivers consistent material removal while resisting wear, extending tool life even under demanding conditions. Measuring just 1‑1/4″ square, this compact point provides exceptional maneuverability in confined workspaces where larger wheels would be impractical. With a maximum operating speed of 28,550 RPM, it balances high‑speed efficiency with controlled material removal, making it ideal for grinding, polishing, and deburring applications on ferrous metals. The product dimensions of 1.25 × 1.25 × 2.75 inches and a lightweight design of 1.6 oz ensure easy handling and reduced fatigue during extended use. Additionally, the point includes a 90‑day manufacturer warranty, underscoring Forney’s confidence in its durability and performance.

Usage

Designed for professional machinists, hobbyists, and maintenance technicians, this grinding point excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. It is particularly effective for shaping and finishing weld seams, removing burrs from machined parts, and smoothing rough edges on steel components. The small footprint allows it to access tight corners, interior surfaces, and intricate geometries that larger abrasive wheels cannot reach, making it a go‑to solution for automotive repair, aerospace component maintenance, and precision instrumentation work. When paired with a variable‑speed drill, users can adjust the RPM to match material hardness, ensuring optimal surface finish without overheating. The point’s aluminum oxide composition also provides excellent heat dissipation, reducing the risk of thermal damage to delicate workpieces. Forney recommends using appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and hearing protection, to maintain a safe work environment while achieving professional results.

FAQ

What materials can I use this grinding point on?

The point is optimized for ferrous metals such as steel and iron. It can also be used on mild alloys, but performance may vary on non‑ferrous metals.

Can I use this point with a variable‑speed drill?

Yes, the point is compatible with any drill that accepts a 1/4‑inch shank. Adjust the speed to match the material hardness; for most steel applications, stay below the maximum 28,550 RPM rating.

How often should I replace the grinding point?

Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and material hardness. For typical light‑to‑moderate grinding, the point maintains effectiveness for several hours of continuous use before noticeable wear.

Is the point suitable for polishing?

While primarily designed for grinding and deburring, the fine 60‑grit aluminum oxide can achieve a basic polish on metal surfaces when used with appropriate polishing compounds.

What does the 90‑day warranty cover?

The warranty covers any manufacturing defects in the abrasive material or shank. It does not cover damage caused by improper use, excessive wear, or accidental breakage.
