CGW 45009 is a 7-inch Type 27 metal-cutting wheel designed for grinding and cutting tasks on ferrous materials. Its 1/16-inch thickness and 7/8-inch arbor hole are sized for compatible angle grinders and compatible mounting setups, while the 60-grit white aluminum oxide abrasive provides a balance of material removal and finish. The wheel is described as contaminant-free, with iron, sulfur, and chlorine content controlled to about 0.1%, supporting rust-free and corrosion-free results on treated workpieces. The explicit grain composition and structure contribute to a friable cutting action, which can help reduce heat buildup and glazing during heavier cuts.
Key construction details include the white aluminum oxide grain, which is commonly chosen for its hardness and ability to cut a range of metals efficiently. The Type 27 profile indicates the wheel is shaped for flush contact with workpieces at a grinding angle, rather than a flat face, allowing for more aggressive material removal along contours or edges. Rated for up to 8500 RPM, this wheel is intended for high-speed grinders, and its 7/8-inch arbor ensures secure mounting when paired with compatible equipment. Packaged as a single wheel per unit, with a box quantity of 25, it fits workflows that require multiple wheels in a parts inventory or job-site kit.
This product is suitable for metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair tasks that involve cutting or beveling metal stock, such as angle iron, tubing, or sheet metal. Operators should follow standard grinding safety practices, including correct flanges, guards, and personal protective equipment, and verify compatibility with their grinder’s arbor size and speed rating before use. For best results, ensure the wheel is mounted on a grinder that supports Type 27 wheels and operates within the specified RPM range.
