The manufacturer's own spec table lists the second dimension (1/4 in.) under a column headed "Arbor Size," but rodding blades of this type are commonly sold and specified by thickness in the trade, and the manufacturer's own table offers the same diameter class in both 1/8 in. and 1/4 in. Whether 1/4 in. means arbor bore or blade thickness on this exact part has not been confirmed — check against the physical part before fitting to a specific machine.
Who Is This For?
Stone fabricators performing rodding and grooving work on granite and quartzite.
