Cast iron or steel? We can help you select the right wheel for you.

Cast Iron Wheels

  • Preferred by saw filers
  • Absorbs the heat generated from friction between the saw blade and cast iron wheel, maintaining tension in the blade and resulting in less work in the filing room
  • The ideal wheel for those mills wanting to run surface speeds up to 10,000 SFPM

Steel Wheels

  • The perfect solution for mills that want to run surface speeds up to 12,000 SFPM and, in unique situations, over 14,000 SFPM

McDonough can supply you with the type of wheel that best suits your needs.
