Bosch 5 in. x 1/4 in. X-LOCK Type 27 30-Grit Metal Grinding Wheel 

The Bosch GWX27LM500 5-inch x 1/4-inch X-LOCK Type 27 Metal Grinding Wheel is a 30-grit bonded abrasive wheel engineered for fast metal grinding, material removal, weld blending, and surface preparation. Designed for professional welders, metal fabricators, maintenance crews, mechanical contractors, and construction trades, its X-LOCK interface provides fast, secure wheel installation on compatible grinders.

Best Used For

  • Weld Grinding & Blending — Grind down weld beads, smooth welded joints, and prepare fabricated steel components for additional finishing.
  • Metal Fabrication & Material Removal — Remove excess material, burrs, surface imperfections, and rough edges from compatible ferrous-metal workpieces.
  • Maintenance & Construction — Perform heavy-duty metal grinding and surface preparation on structural steel, fabricated components, and other compatible metal materials.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • 30-Grit Aluminum Oxide Abrasive — High-quality aluminum oxide abrasive provides aggressive material removal and durability for demanding metal-grinding applications.
  • X-LOCK Mounting System — Snap-on X-LOCK interface allows fast accessory installation without a traditional spanner wrench or flange nuts when used with an X-LOCK grinder.
  • 5-Inch Type 27 Profile — The 5-inch diameter and 1/4-inch thickness provide a durable grinding surface for professional metalworking and fabrication.
  • Reinforced Resinoid Construction — Specially formulated resinoid bonding and multiple layers of stranded fiberglass reinforce the abrasive wheel for demanding grinding applications.
  • 0.875-Inch Interface — Bosch specifies an X-LOCK, 0.875-inch bore configuration for the GWX27LM500.
  • Application-Specific Design — Engineered for metal grinding and fast material removal with small angle grinders. Always use the appropriate grinder guard and never exceed the wheel's marked maximum operating speed.
