Foredom 2'' Ao Unmtd Wheel 3/8 Arbor 120 Grit

Description:

The 2" Aluminum Oxide Unmounted Wheel with a 3/8" arbor and 120-grit abrasive surface is designed for situations where controlled yet moderately coarse material removal is required. This wheel is widely used in dental laboratories to shape and contour acrylic dentures, orthodontic appliances, occlusal splints, and composite resin materials. The 120-grit texture strikes a balance between aggressive removal and surface refinement, making it suitable for pre-finishing or shaping stages before moving to finer grits. Aluminum oxide is known for its durability and consistent abrasive performance, providing reliable cutting action without excessive wear. Technicians depend on this wheel for tasks that require efficiency without sacrificing smoothness, such as trimming denture borders, adjusting palatal contours, refining occlusal guards, or removing bulk resin from repairs. The 3/8" arbor fits securely on common bench lathe mandrels, ensuring stable rotation with minimal vibration. This stability enhances precision and reduces operator fatigue, especially during extended trimming sessions or detailed contouring of anatomical areas. Because the wheel resists heat buildup, it prevents overheating of sensitive dental materials, reducing risks of burns, melting, or unwanted distortions. This is crucial when adjusting thin or delicate appliance sections. The wheel�s 2-inch diameter provides excellent maneuverability, enabling technicians to work accurately on both small components and broader surfaces. Its performance is consistent across acrylic, resin, plaster, and similar materials found in the dental environment. Whether used for shaping a denture during fabrication, refining an appliance before final polishing, or removing rough spots on processed resin, the 2" AO Unmounted Wheel � 120 Grit offers reliable and predictable results. Its balanced cutting power and durable construction make it a staple abrasive tool in any dental laboratory.
