Design provides aggressive mill scale removal, long product life, and prevents loading or glazing.
CRESCO, Pa. — Nov. 11, 2025 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading producer of abrasives and power brushes for surface conditioning, is excited to announce the new Tiger Mill Scale wheel, an abrasive product designed to quickly and efficiently remove mill scale from hot-rolled carbon steel. This new addition to the Tiger portfolio provides a targeted solution for industries such as shipbuilding, pressure vessel manufacturing and metal fabrication where heavy mill scale removal is critical for weld preparation.
“The market has been demanding a better solution for removing heavy mill scale because previous options would just push the scale around without delivering results or have a very short product life,” said Tony Hufford, Sector Manager, Metal Fabrication, Weiler Abrasives. “Our new Tiger Mill Scale wheel addresses this need with a unique design and formulation that delivers exceptional performance in even the toughest applications with heavy mill scale — resulting in a clean, uniform surface to ensure proper weld penetration.”
Tiger Mill Scale wheels feature a circular studded design that aggressively cuts through thick scale and prevents loading or glazing. The type 29 curved shape increases the contact area of the wheel, maximizing material removal rates, improving operator comfort and deterring gouging. In addition, the Tiger 2.0 bond formulation provides long wheel life while the zirconia alumina grains deliver a high cut rate for the entire life of the wheel. The Tiger Mill Scale wheel is available with a 5/8-11 quick connect hub in 4-1/2”, 5” and 6” diameters.
“These wheels offer a high-performance solution for removing tough mill scale, increasing productivity, ensuring proper weld penetration, and improving the quality of critical welds,” Hufford said.
