The CGW CGW36234 is a 14-inch Type 1 cutting wheel designed for cutting metal and steel on chop saws. This wheel features aluminum oxide abrasive grain with a 36-grit size, offering a balance of cut-rate and finish suitable for general-purpose metal fabrication tasks. It is manufactured with fiberglass reinforcement in both single (SR) and double (DR) configurations, which helps add rigidity and impact resistance during operation. The wheel is specified with a thickness of 7/64 inch and an arbor bore of 1 inch, making it compatible with standard chop saw spindles that accept that arbor size. The Type 1 designation indicates a flat-cutting face intended for straight cuts through metal stock.
In practice, the 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive excels at removing material efficiently while still providing a reasonable surface finish on mild and some medium-strength steels. The combination of a 14-inch diameter and 1-inch bore supports common chop saw setups used in welding, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The wheel’s RPM rating of 4,400 provides a safe operating speed within typical machine specifications for low-to-mid RPM metal cutting applications. Each package includes a box quantity of 10 wheels, which is convenient for inventory management and replacement planning to minimize downtime on busy shop floors.
When selecting this wheel, verify that your chop saw is configured for a 14-inch wheel with a 1-inch arbor and that the intended cut is compatible with aluminum oxide abrasive and the wheel’s 36-grit texture. Proper mounting, alignment, and wheel guards should be used in accordance with equipment manufacturer guidelines and standard safety practices to help ensure consistent performance and worker protection during metal cutting operations.
