Abrasive Tools & Cutting Supplies for Chatham, Ontario

Chatham-Kent's agricultural heartland — some of the most productive farmland in Canada — generates consistent demand from the farm equipment dealers, agricultural machinery repair shops, and custom fabrication businesses that serve the region's farming community. Equipment dealers servicing Case IH, John Deere, and AGCO equipment use cutting wheels and grinding tools for repair and modification work on planters, combines, and tillage equipment. Custom fabricators building drainage tile machines, grain handling equipment, and custom field implements for Kent County's large-scale grain and vegetable operations work with heavy structural steel that requires grinding wheels and cutting consumables. Whitby Abrasives is approximately 295 km east on Highway 401.

What cutting and grinding products work best for repairing worn combine header components?

Combine header repair typically involves cutting worn sections out of the header frame or sickle drive components, grinding weld preparations, and cleaning up welds after hard-facing or structural repair. For cutting worn structural sections, a 4.5" or 5" cutting wheel at 1.6 mm thickness handles most frame steel thicknesses. For grinding weld preparations and cleaning weld toes on thick frame material, a 36-grit Type 27 grinding wheel is the standard starting point. For hard-facing weld cleanup, zirconia or ceramic abrasive at 36 grit gives better longevity on the harder surface deposit. Come in or call (905) 430-1777 and we'll work through the right products for what you're repairing.
