CGW 45024 6" X 3/32" X 7/8" Type 27 36-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Cutting & Notching Wheel

The CGW 45024 wheel is a 6-inch Type 27 cutting and notching wheel designed for use with right-angle grinders on metalworking tasks. It features a 3/32-inch thickness and a 7/8-inch arbor, packaged as a single wheel for job-site flexibility or as part of a kit. The wheel uses white aluminum oxide grain, selected for its ability to provide a clean cut on ferrous and non-ferrous metals while maintaining a predictable wear rate under typical workshop use.

A notable characteristic is its contaminant-conscious formulation, which limits iron, sulfur, or chlorine to approximately 0.1% to help reduce rust and corrosion in cut surfaces—an important consideration for projects where metal prep and finish are critical. The grain is described as friable, meaning it tends to fracture into sharp edges as it wears, promoting consistent cutting performance and quieter action compared with some harder grains. The wheel is rated for up to 10,200 RPM, aligning with common high-speed grinders used in fabrication, maintenance, and metalworking.

When selecting this wheel, ensure your grinder accepts Type 27, 6-inch wheels with a 7/8-inch arbor and that the work involves materials compatible with white aluminum oxide grain. Practical use involves metal cutting and notching where a relatively coarse 36-grit is appropriate for faster material removal with controlled edge finish. The wheel is offered in a practical packaging size of 25 per box, suitable for maintenance fleets or shop inventories, and should be inspected for proper mounting and balance before operation to maintain grind quality and safety.
