CGW 36178 is a 4-inch, Type 1 cutting wheel designed for high-speed die grinders, offering a fast cutting action with minimal material loss. This wheel uses zirconia grain to deliver sharp, consistent cuts and reliable performance under demanding grinding tasks. The 1/16-inch thickness provides a balanced combination of rigidity and cooling, while the 3/8-inch arbor fits standard die grinder tooling compatible with CGW’s zirconia wheel lineup. The 36-grit configuration steps down material quickly, making it suitable for aggressive stock removal on harder metals when precision is required.
Constructed to operate at elevated speeds, the wheel is rated for up to 22,000 RPM, which aligns with typical high-speed die grinder applications where rapid material removal reduces cycle times. The Type 1 profile indicates a flat cutting face, commonly used for face grinding and edge work on flat surfaces. Zirconia grain provides a robust cutting surface with good heat resistance, helping to manage workpiece heat input during cutting. Practical considerations include ensuring proper wheel mounting, verifying compatibility with the tool arbor size, and adhering to all safety practices for high-speed grinding, including the use of appropriate eye and face protection and a tool rest where applicable.
This product is packaged as individual wheels, with packaging quantity listed as 50 per box, making it suitable for maintenance operations that require bulk stocking. When selecting replacement wheels, confirm the diameter, thickness, arbor size, grain type, and RPM rating to ensure compatibility with your equipment and the workpiece material. Proper wheel conditioning and inspection before use help maintain performance and reduce the risk of wheel failure during service.
