CGW 35515 4-1/2" X .045" X 7/8" Type 1 36-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Cutting Wheel

The CGW 35515 is a 4-1/2 inch Type 1 cutting wheel designed for cutting through metal with a controlled, clean finish. This wheel features white aluminum oxide abrasive grains that are formulated to provide consistent performance, paired with a thickness of .045 inches and an arbor size of 7/8 inch. The wheel is graded as ‘T’ (rigid) to maintain shape and control during high-speed cuts, and it is rated for up to 13,300 RPM to suit common die grinder and right-angle grinder applications.

Designed to minimize contamination, the wheel contains very low levels of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, supporting rust- and corrosion-free results in treated metals and facilitating cleaner downstream handling. The grain mixture is described as friable, which helps the wheel slice through material with controlled breakage, potentially reducing dwell time and heat generation compared with denser formulations. This can translate to more predictable cut control in typical metal fabricating or maintenance tasks where a finer-grit 36 abrasive is appropriate.

When selecting this wheel, ensure compatibility with your grinder’s arbor and speed rating, and verify that the 7/8 inch arbor matches the tool you intend to use. The package is sold as Each, with 25 wheels per box, which can help support replacement needs for ongoing maintenance tasks without frequent reordering. Maintain standard safety practices, use appropriate guards, and follow grinder manufacturer guidelines for wheel mounting, dressing, and speed limits.
