140mm Vincent 45Ø Hogger Wheel with Conical Segments - 35mm Bore

The Vincent 45-Degree CNC Hogger Profiling Wheel is a 140 mm position 0 segmented roughing wheel that takes the sawn edge down to the profile line on granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite before the shaping wheels run.

Spindle speed: 4,800–5,500 RPM

Feed rate: up to 4,000 mm/min

Stock removal: up to 0.5 mm

Diameter: 140 mm · Height: 36.8 mm · Bore: 35 mm

KEY FEATURES

• Segmented rim for bulk removal — this is the first wheel in the set and the one that does the heavy cutting, not the one that sets the finish.

• Vincent publishes up to 4,000 mm/min at 4,800–5,500 RPM for this position, with stock removal up to 0.5 mm.

• The softer bond releases spent diamond as it wears instead of polishing over, so the wheel keeps cutting without glazing on dense material such as quartzite and porcelain.

• Fitment: 140 mm diameter, 36.8 mm working height, 35 mm bore. Vincent sizes its resin polishers to match the metals in the same set, so positions swap without re-setting the tool length.

WHO IS THIS FOR

A high-production shop programming profiled edges on a CNC and running them in volume. At up to 4,000 mm/min this is a wheel built for unattended cycles and production throughput rather than one-off work.

It is not a polisher. Position 0 leaves a ground surface by design; the gloss comes from the position 4–6 resin polishers in the same profile set. Do not try to close the surface by slowing this wheel down — that glazes the bond and shortens its life.

Vincent lists this wheel for granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite. For technical ceramics and Dekton it publishes a separate CERAM range; running a granite bond on ceramic slab is the usual cause of chipping at entry and exit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What feed rate and spindle speed should I run at position 0?

Vincent publishes up to 4,000 mm/min at 4,800–5,500 RPM for a position 0 profiling wheel of this type, with stock removal up to 0.5 mm. Those are the manufacturer's figures for the position, not a shop rule of thumb.

Will it polish the edge?

No — positions 0–3 are metal bond. They cut the profile; the resin positions 4–6 polish it. Expect a ground surface off this wheel.

Will it hold up on quartzite and porcelain?

That is what the softer bond is for: it releases spent diamond rather than glazing, so the wheel keeps cutting on hard material. Vincent lists the range for granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite.

What bore does it need?

35 mm. That is the standard Vincent profile-wheel spindle fitting for this range.

Is "engineered stone" the same as quartz?

Yes — engineered stone is Vincent's catalogue wording for quartz surfaces such as Caesarstone, Silestone and Cambria. The wheel is listed for them.
