The CGW 36173 is a 3-inch diameter cutting wheel designed for use with high-speed die grinder tools. This Type 1 wheel features a 1/16-inch thickness and a 1/4-inch arbor/shank bore, making it suitable for precise, clean cuts in light- to medium-thickness workpieces. With a 36-grit zirconia grain, the wheel is engineered to provide sharp cutting action and efficient material removal while maintaining good durability in demanding applications. The zirconia abrasive composition helps balance cut rate with wheel life, which is particularly advantageous in high-speed die grinding operations where minimizing material loss is important.
Construction details emphasize a form factor intended for die grinder use, where a fast cut is desired without excessive wheel wear. The Grade/Hardness is listed as R, and the wheel is rated for operations up to 23,900 RPM, indicating a balance between speed capability and controlled performance for common metalworking tasks. This wheel is packaged as an individual item with a box quantity of 50, suitable for teams stocking multiple machines or for ongoing shop maintenance. When selecting this wheel, confirm your grinder’s arbor compatibility (1/4 inch) and ensure the workpiece material and thickness align with zirconia’s cutting characteristics to achieve consistent results.
