The CGW 36302 is a standard Type 1 cutting wheel designed for general metalworking applications. It features a 6-inch diameter with a 0.045-inch thick wheel body and a 7/8-inch arbor bore, making it suitable for compatible right-angle grinders that accept 7/8-inch arbors. The wheel uses white aluminum oxide, a common abrasive grain chosen for its balance of cut rate and durability on ferrous metals. A key quality trait is its contaminant-free formulation, which limits iron, sulfur, and chlorine to about 0.1%, reducing the potential for rust, corrosion, or staining on the workpiece and tooling when used under typical shop conditions. The grain is described as friable, meaning it tends to fracture and continually expose fresh sharp edges during use, which supports a consistent cutting action and controlled wheel wear.
This wheel is configured for 36-grit finishing, providing a relatively aggressive cut that can remove material efficiently while leaving a workable edge on metal surfaces. The T-grade hardness indicates a balance between wheel strength and friability, suitable for continuous cutting tasks typical of maintenance and metal fabrication environments. The product’s packaging in a 25-piece box helps maintain inventory readiness for shop or job-site use and supports standardized replacement cycles.
When selecting and using this wheel, ensure your grinding tool and flange hardware are compatible with a 6" wheel, 0.045" thickness, and 7/8" arbor. Follow standard safety practices for wheel mounting, run-out checks, and personal protective equipment. Because the specification confirms a Type 1 form factor (flat cutting wheel) and a 36-grit profile, this wheel is intended for straight cutting actions and should not be used for grinding or off-angle operations that require different wheel configurations. Always verify compatibility with your grinder model and the intended material to be cut.
