The CGW 36159 is a Type 1 aluminum oxide cutting wheel designed for cutting metal and steel on gas-powered saws. With a 14-inch diameter, a thickness of 5/32 inch, and a 1-inch arbor, this wheel is sized for common heavy-duty cutting applications. The grain is aluminum oxide, and the wheel is available in a 24-grit size, which provides a balance between material removal rate and finish quality for ferrous metals. It is reinforced with fiberglass, available in single (SR) and double (DR) configurations, contributing to the wheel’s durability under high-speed operation. The wheel is rated for up to 4,400 RPM, which should be matched to the compatible tool’s maximum speed to maintain safe and effective cutting performance.
Understanding the construction helps with selecting the appropriate wheel for your process. Aluminum oxide is a standard abrasive for cutting ferrous metals, and the Type 1 profile is the traditional flat cutting wheel commonly used in cutoff applications. The grinding wheel’s 24-grit designation indicates a coarser abrasive surface, suitable for heavier material removal where finish quality is less critical. The fiberglass reinforcement adds strength and helps resist wheel breakage during high-load cuts, an important consideration when operating on gas-powered saws where vibration and cutting forces can be significant.
When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your saw’s arbor size, speed rating, and mounting hardware. The package size is listed as Each with a box quantity of 10, which may affect procurement planning for maintenance schedules. Ensure you follow manufacturer guidelines for mounting, dress and inspect the wheel before use, and replace if any cracks, chips, or excessive wear are evident to maintain safe operations.
