Abrasive Tools & Cutting Supplies for Newmarket, Ontario
An hour up the 404 from Whitby puts you in Newmarket — one of York Region's most economically active communities, where light manufacturing, healthcare services, and automotive trades share a growing commercial and industrial base. The Upper Canada Mall corridor sees enormous commercial construction activity. Elsewhere in Newmarket, automotive service shops, light manufacturers, and fabrication businesses run through grinding wheels and flap discs as regular consumables. The healthcare cluster around Southlake Regional Health Centre also supports a medical device and specialized equipment manufacturing sector that has precise abrasive requirements. Whitby Abrasives, via Highway 404 south and 407 east, carries what Newmarket's diverse trades actually need.
Trusted by Newmarket's Light Manufacturing & Construction Trades
Newmarket's Mulock Drive and Davis Drive industrial corridors host a mix of light manufacturing operations, auto body and mechanical shops, and trade contractors serving one of York Region's fastest-growing residential and commercial markets. Automotive shops in Newmarket need grinding wheels for brake rotor cleanup, exhaust work, and general metal repair — and they need product that doesn't disappoint mid-job. Light manufacturers producing components and assemblies need consistent abrasive performance that doesn't vary between orders. Commercial construction contractors framing and finishing the city's ongoing development boom need cutting wheels in volume. We supply all three groups without pushing inferior product or substitutions.

What grinding wheel is best for cleaning brake rotor surfaces in an automotive shop?
For surface rust removal and cleanup on brake rotors and drums, a cup wheel or straight wheel in 36 to 60 grit aluminum oxide is the standard choice in automotive shops. You're removing rust and machined surface oxidation — not doing heavy stock removal — so a medium-to-fine grit works well without eating too much material. Make sure the wheel is rated for your bench grinder or angle grinder RPM. We carry a range of sizes and can match you to what fits your setup — just bring in the grinder specs or tell us the diameter you're working with.
