The 48x8x8 emery wheel is the medium-grit abrasive grinding stone for the sharpener arm on OMS slicers and compatible models. It mounts on the machine's sharpening unit and is used to hone and true the edge of the circular blade, restoring a clean cut when the blade starts tearing instead of slicing smoothly.

• Diameter: 48 mm
• Thickness: 8 mm
• Bore: 8 mm
• Grit: medium
• Compatibility: OMS slicers and compatible models fitted with a sharpener that takes a wheel of the same size

Replace it when the stone looks worn, glazed or has a smooth/shiny face: at that point it no longer "bites" the blade edge and sharpening becomes ineffective or uneven. Always check the exact dimensions of the wheel fitted on your own sharpener (diameter, thickness and bore) before ordering, since even small size differences will prevent it from fitting.
