CGW 35518 is a Type 1 cutting wheel designed for metalworking applications, offering a 6-inch diameter with a narrow 1/16-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor. This wheel blends Zirconia and Aluminum Oxide grain to deliver a balance of cut-rate performance and longevity, making it suitable for frequent cutting tasks on steel and stainless steel. The 36-grit Zirconia composition is chosen to provide efficient material removal while maintaining useful wheel life, and the Type 1 configuration indicates it is flat-fired for conventional, straight-application cuts. The wheel is rated for up to 8,500 RPM, aligning with standard portable cut-off and angle-grinder workflows when operated within the tool’s speed rating and safety guidelines.
In use, the 6-inch diameter and 7/8-inch arbor size fit common chop saws and right-angle grinders with appropriate mounting flanges. The mix of zirconia and aluminum oxide is intended to support faster cutting and longer life relative to wheels that use a single grain type, particularly on ferrous metals. Users should verify compatibility with their grinder’s RPM rating and ensure appropriate personal protective equipment is worn during operation. The packaging indicates the product is sold as individual wheels, with a total quantity per box (if applicable) noted as 25, which can help with planning and reordering of consumables.
For best results, confirm the wheel’s Type 1 flat configuration matches the intended cut, and observe manufacturer recommendations for wheel mounting, dress/true procedures if required, and grinder safety practices. While this data confirms diameter, thickness, arbor size, grain type, and speed rating, it does not specify material certifications or country of origin, so users should consult the supplier’s guidelines and local standards for compliant use in their facility.
