The CGW 35575 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel designed for chop saw applications on metal and steel. It features a 12-inch diameter, a 3/32-inch thickness, and a 1-inch arbor, with 36 grit for material removal and a P-hardness grade appropriate for cutting operations. This wheel is available in a boxed pack, and CGW specifies both single (SR) and double (DR) fiberglass-reinforced constructions to enhance wheel rigidity and safety during use. The construction materials and grit are chosen to balance cutting efficiency with wheel life on ferrous metals, making it suitable for general-purpose metal cutting tasks in maintenance and fabrication environments.
Design and construction details matter because they influence how the wheel behaves under load, its heat generation, and its resistance to wheel fracture. The 12" diameter provides a substantial cut depth, while the 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive blends fast material removal with controlled finish. The Type 1 profile indicates flat cutting edges appropriate for chop saw mounting, and the 1" arbor specifies the mounting compatibility required for standard saw spindles. When selecting this wheel, verify your equipment recommendations for wheel diameter, thickness, and arbor size to ensure proper fit and safe operation. Consider using with compatible guards, flanges, and a suitable grinding lubricant or coolant if your application guidelines call for it.
