CGW 45014 4" X .040" X 7/8" Type 1 60-Grit Zirconia Cutting Wheel

The CGW45014 cutting wheel is a 4-inch, Type 1, 60-grit wheel designed for metalworking tasks that require fast cutting with durable wear. Built with a zirconia-aluminum oxide blend, this wheel balances aggressive material removal with extended life, making it suitable for cutting through steel and stainless steel in a variety of fabrication or maintenance contexts. Its 0.040 inch thickness and 7/8 inch arbor-compatible form factor are selected to deliver consistent performance in compatible grinders while maintaining dimensional stability during use.

Key construction details include a zirconia grain matrix intended to optimize cutting speed and wheel longevity, paired with a robust bonding system appropriate for mid-range to heavy-duty cutting applications. While these wheels perform well on ferrous metals, users should consider tool RPM limits and stock removal requirements to maximize life and achieve the desired finish. The wheel is offered with a practical package size for job-site or shop use, supporting repeated cuts across multiple projects without frequent wheel changes.

Compatibility is determined by the wheel’s Type 1 configuration and 5/8 inch shank size, which aligns with common right-angle grinders and cutoff tools used in facility maintenance, metal fabrication, and workshop environments. When choosing replacement wheels, verify arbor compatibility, grinding RPM, and the intended material to ensure safe operation and optimal performance. This CGW wheel is presented under the CGW Quickie Cut line, which emphasizes a balance of performance and value for routine cutting tasks.
