Artifex Wheel 4″ Diameter Conforming Wheels

Description

Description

Artifex 4″ (100mm) diameter conforming wheels bring professional-grade silicon carbide abrasive performance to jewelry benches and metalsmithing studios. Made in Germany, these wheels combine silicon carbide abrasive with a non-clogging, spongy rubber base that provides a cushion effect — allowing the wheel to conform to contours and curved surfaces far more effectively than standard silicon carbide rubber-bonded wheels. The cushioning action prevents gouging on precious metals, making these wheels a reliable choice for deburring and producing smooth matte finishes quickly and cleanly with minimal dust and debris.

Artifex wheels are well established in German industrial applications, and jewelers have embraced them for their durability and consistent results. While priced higher than many alternatives, their extended service life makes them a cost-effective investment over time. These wheels work on a wide variety of metals including gold, silver, copper, platinum, steel, and aluminum. The 4″ wheels are available in three grits — Coarse (80G), Medium (150G), and Fine (250G) — and mount on standard jeweler’s tapered spindles for use with a polishing lathe.
