The CGW 36182 is a high-speed cutting wheel designed for rapid, precise material removal in die grinding and related applications. Sized at 3 inches in diameter with a thin 1/16-inch thickness and a 3/8-inch arbor, this Type 1 wheel uses premium ceramic grain to deliver fast cutting action while minimizing material loss. The 36 grit rating indicates a relatively coarse abrasive surface suitable for aggressive material removal in appropriate workpieces when used with compatible equipment. The wheel’s grade and ceramic construction are chosen to balance cutting speed with durability under demanding die grinding conditions.
Construction details reflect its intended use on high-speed tooling, where a fast cut and extended wheel life are beneficial. The ceramic grain is engineered to maintain sharpness under heavy use, which can translate into fewer wheel changes and steadier productivity on compatible machines. The Type 1 profile indicates a flat cutting face suitable for plunge cuts and edge shaping, aligning with common die grinding and metalworking routines.
Practical considerations include ensuring proper matching with the equipment’s RPM rating and the wheel’s 23900 RPM maximum capability. The packaging indicates the wheel is sold as an individual unit within a boxed quantity of 50, allowing for convenient stocking and replacement. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your tool arbor size and the specific material being processed to achieve the intended balance of cut rate and surface finish.
