The CGW 45002 is a 4-1/2 inch diameter cutting wheel designed for quick cut applications on steel and stainless steel. Leveraging a zirconia and aluminum oxide blend, this Type 27 wheel aims to balance cutting performance with durability, delivering faster material removal and extended life compared with standard all-aluminum oxide options. Its 0.045 inch thickness and 7/8 inch arbor make it suitable for compact grinders while maintaining rigidity for consistent cuts.
Key construction details include a zirconia-rich grain composition that supports aggressive cutting with improved heat resistance, which is beneficial when working with tougher metals. The wheel is rated for up to 13,300 RPM, a specification you’ll want to match to your grinder to ensure safe operation and steady performance. The 60-grit surface is positioned for material removal efficiency and could require slower feeds to preserve wheel life and ensure quality edges on cut parts.
This wheel is packaged as individual units with 25 per box, making it convenient for ongoing maintenance or shop replenishment. When selecting a wheel, confirm compatibility with your grinder’s arbor size (7/8 inch) and mount Type (Type 27, recessed-flat) to ensure a secure fit and optimal cutting angle. As with all abrasive wheels, inspect for cracks or damage before use and follow standard safety practices, including wearing appropriate PPE and adhering to grinder manufacturer guidelines for RPM limits and mounting procedures.
