The CGW 45017 is a 6-inch Type 27 depressed-center grinding wheel designed for cutting and grinding applications in metalworking and maintenance environments. This wheel features a .045-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor to fit compatible supported grinders, delivering a balanced combo of material removal and control where a flat-cutting surface is required on curved or contoured workpieces.
Constructed with white aluminum oxide grain, the wheel employs a high-quality friable abrasive blend intended to provide efficient cutting action with predictable wear. The product is specified with a 60-grit size and a radial hardness rated as R, which influences how aggressively the wheel bonds to material and how it sheds used grit during use. A claimed contaminant-free formulation targets rust- and corrosion-sensitive tasks by limiting iron, sulfur, and chlorine contents to reduce staining and reaction risk in treated metals.
Typical use cases include metal fabrication, maintenance, and industrial repair activities where a Type 27 wheel is appropriate for side-mounted cutting on varying contours. Operators should select an appropriate RPM for the wheel (the listing notes 10,200 RPM) and ensure compatibility with compatible grinders that accept a 7/8-inch arbor. The packaging indicates a boxed quantity of 25 wheels per package, which can influence stocking and replenishment planning for shops that repeatedly cut or grind metal components. Always verify machine compatibility, wheel dimensions, and safe operating procedures before use to maintain performance and safety standards.
