CGW 45008 7" X 1/16" X 7/8" Type 27 60-Grit Zirconia Cutting Wheel

The CGW45008 is a 7-inch Type 27 grinding wheel designed for cutting and grinding applications on metals. It features a 60-grit zirconia-aluminum oxide blend, which is selected to balance aggressive material removal with extended wheel life. The wheel’s Type 27 profile is suitable for grinding in a held or angle-oriented position, allowing for effective access to contoured surfaces while maintaining control during use. Its construction combines zirconia with aluminum oxide, a mixture intended to improve cutting efficiency and durability on steel and stainless steel workpieces. The wheel is rated at 8500 RPM and has an 1/16-inch thickness with a 7/8-inch arbor, parameters that influence its compatibility with compatible angle grinders and the specific mounting hardware used in metalworking tasks. This product is packaged in units of one wheel per package, with a box quantity of 25, which is helpful for stocking and workflow planning in maintenance and fabrication environments.

When selecting this wheel, consider the material being machined and the balance of aggressive cutting versus wheel life. Zirconia-based wheels can offer robust performance on ferrous metals, but users should follow manufacturer guidelines and machine capabilities to ensure safe operation. Proper mounting, alignment, and guard usage remain critical for safe grinding practice, especially at higher RPMs like 8500. While the data confirms the wheel’s key dimensions and composition, verify fitment with your grinder’s arbor size and the intended grinding task to avoid incompatibility or improper performance.
