CGW 36161 14" X 5/32" X 1" Type 1 24-Grit Aluminum Oxide / Silicon Carbide Cutting Wheel

The CGW 36161 is a 14-inch Type 1 cutting wheel designed for cutting metal and steel. It features a 5/32-inch thickness, a 1-inch arbor, and a 24-grit profile with a silicon carbide grain specification, offering a balanced performance for demanding metal-cutting tasks. The wheel is reinforced with fiberglass, available in single (SR) or double (DR) configurations, which adds durability and helps resist wheel breakage during use on gas-powered saws. This construction is suitable for users who require reliable cutting performance when working with ferrous materials at height or on mobile job sites.

The combination of silicon carbide grain and the aluminum oxide formulation provides a robust cutting surface appropriate for metal work, while the Type 1 configuration indicates a standard flat-face design suitable for plunge or straight cuts on a variety of metal stock. The wheel is specified to run at a maximum RPM of 4400, which aligns with many portable gas-powered cutting saws used in maintenance, fabrication, and facility upkeep. For best results, verify compatibility with your saw’s arbor size and RPM rating before mounting, and adhere to all safety practices for wheel use, guarding, and personal protective equipment.

Packaging details indicate the wheel is sold as an individual component with a packaging configuration of 10 per box, facilitating stocking and replacement in facility maintenance environments. Proper handling and storage of fiberglass-reinforced wheels help preserve wheel integrity and ensure consistent performance in the field.
