CGW 36174 is a Type 1 cutting wheel designed for high-speed die grinder tools, enabling fast cuts with minimal material loss. The wheel leverages a Zirconia grain formulation, known for sharp cutting action and consistent performance in metalworking applications. With a 3-inch diameter, a thickness of 1/16 inch, and a 3/8 inch arbor, this wheel is sized for common die grinder configurations and can be paired with compatible fixtures to optimize material removal rates on ferrous and non-ferrous metals according to standard grinding practices.
The 36-grit Zirconia construction provides a balance between material aggression and finish quality, making it suitable for applications that require rapid stock removal without excessive wheel wear. The Grade/Roughness is specified as R, which indicates a relatively coarse grain that enhances cut rate while maintaining control under typical die grinder use. RPM ratings are provided to guide safe operation, with a maximum of 23,900 RPM, underscoring the need to match wheel speed to the tool’s capability and workpiece tolerance. Each wheel is packaged individually and units are commonly stocked in cases of 50, aligning with shop-wide inventory planning and maintenance cycles.
When selecting this wheel, verify that your tooling supports a 3/8-inch arbor and that your workpiece material and geometry allow for the wheel’s 3-inch diameter. As with all abrasive cutting tools, follow safe grinding practices, inspect for glazing or cracks before use, and replace the wheel if any damage is observed. This product is categorized under facility maintenance, and it is appropriate for standard metalworking tasks that benefit from fast cut rates and controlled material removal.
