CGW 45006 5" X .045" X 7/8" Type 27 60-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Cutting Wheel

The CGW 45006 is a 5-inch Type 27 white aluminum oxide cutting wheel designed for general-purpose abrasive cutting tasks. It features a .045-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor, with a 60-grit structure that provides a balance of material removal rate and wheel life. The wheel is described as contaminant-free, with iron, sulfur, and chlorine kept to approximately 0.1%, which helps minimize rust and corrosion on cut parts and equipment when used as intended. The combination of white aluminum oxide grain with a friable grain blend is intended to aid consistent cutting action and predictable wear within its rated RPM of 12,200, making it suitable for compatible right-angle grinders and other tools that accept Type 27 disks.

In practical use, this wheel is positioned for metal cutting applications where a relatively fine grit is appropriate and where controlling rust or corrosion caused by abrasive contact is a consideration. Operators should verify tool compatibility with a 7/8-inch arbor and ensure proper guard clearance for a 5-inch wheel. As with all cutting wheels, follow manufacturer safety guidelines, use appropriate personal protective equipment, and maintain the tool at the correct operating speed to avoid wheel failure. The product ships in a boxed quantity of 25 individual wheels, which supports stocking and replacement planning for maintenance schedules.

This wheel’s specifications indicate it is intended for general metal cutting tasks where a Type 27 wheel, 5-inch diameter, and 60 grit are appropriate. It is important to match the wheel to the material being cut and to the tool’s RPM rating, ensuring safe operation and proper wheel performance within the equipment’s guidelines.
