The CGW 35688 cutting wheel is a Type 1, 1-1/2 inch diameter wheel designed for rapid cutting with minimal material loss. It uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive grain, chosen for its balance of performance and cost, which helps keep overall tooling expenses manageable while delivering consistent results in appropriate materials. The wheel features a 1/16 inch thickness and a 1/4 inch arbor/shank size, making it compatible with standard die grinder setups that accept these dimensions. At a high operating speed, the wheel is rated to 45,000 RPM, so it is important to ensure your equipment matches this rating and that safety precautions are followed during use. The designation 60-grit indicates a relatively coarse cut, suitable for faster material removal in certain applications while producing a rougher edge compared to finer grits. This product is packaged as Each, with a box quantity of 50, which can support bulk purchasing or restocking needs in maintenance environments.
Given its intended use with high-speed die grinders, this wheel should be employed where quick material removal is prioritized and where the workpiece’s material and heat tolerance permit higher surface temperatures generated by a coarse abrasive. Users should verify that their tool’s spindle diameter and RPM rating align with the wheel’s 1/4 inch arbor and 45,000 RPM maximum. Regular inspection for wheel wear or cracking is advised, and appropriate PPE—eye protection, gloves, and face protection in some environments—should be used during grinding operations. While the data here confirms basic construction and compatibility details, users should reference their tool manufacturer guidelines for any additional mounting or safety requirements.
