CGW 45007 6" X .045" X 7/8" Type 27 60-Grit Zirconia Cutting Wheel

The CGW45007 is a 6-inch diameter cutting wheel designed for metalworking applications, featuring a 0.045-inch thick wheel with a 7/8-inch arbor. This Type 27 depressed-center wheel combines zirconia and aluminum oxide grains to balance cutting speed with wheel life, making it suitable for repeated cutting of steel and stainless steel workpieces. The 60-grit grain provides a balance between aggressive material removal and control, enabling efficient progress on flat or moderately contoured surfaces when paired with compatible grinders.

The wheel's zirconia-aluminum oxide blend is aimed at extending life in demanding cutting tasks, with performance tied to the grain matrix and bonding to the wheel body. Operating at up to 10,200 RPM, it should be used with appropriate guard and safety practices for reinforced degenerative metals and built-up burrs. The package includes a single wheel per unit, with a box quantity of 25, which can impact stocking and reordering planning for maintenance environments that rely on standardized tooling across multiple machines.

When selecting this wheel, ensure your grinder and wheel mounting hardware match the 7/8-inch arbor size and Type 27 depressed-center configuration. Verify compatibility with your material thickness and width to maintain safe clearance and adequate grinding contact. Regular inspection for wheel wear and proper dressing, as well as adherence to wheel speed ratings, helps sustain consistent cutting performance and avoids wheel loading or glazing during use.
