Bay State Abrasives 17A 120 N-8 VS2KS Grinding Wheel

Bay State Abrasives 17A 120 N-8 VS2KS Grinding Wheel is a 12" diameter wheel with a thickness of 0.302" and a 3" arbor bore, designed for heavy metalworking grinding tasks. The model designation indicates a 120-grit wheel in the 17A family, with the N-8 VS2KS specification, and it is rated for a maximum operating speed of 3,185 RPM, making it suitable for higher-throughput grinding on machines that can safely accommodate a 12" wheel with a 3" arbor. This wheel provides the combination of material-removal capability and a mid-range finish associated with 120-grit tooling, useful for profiling, edge work, and finishing operations when mounted on compatible equipment. Before mounting, verify that your grinder supports a 12" wheel with a 3" bore and that the spindle speed does not exceed the 3,185 RPM maximum. The product’s exact 17A 120 N-8 VS2KS designation—along with its generous diameter and bore size—helps identify the wheel for applications requiring a substantial stock-removal rate on suitably configured grinding systems.
