The CGW 45085 is a 3-inch Type 1 cutting wheel designed for high-speed die grinder applications where fast cutting with minimal material loss is desired. Made with aluminum oxide grain, this wheel provides consistent performance at an economical price point, making it a practical choice for routine metalworking tasks. Its 60-grit designation indicates a coarser cut suitable for rapid material removal on ferrous and nonferrous metals, while the Type 1 designation defines its flat, standard cutting face for general-purpose use. The wheel is sized at 3 inches in diameter with a thickness of 1/16 inch and an arbor/shank size of 1/4 inch, and it is rated for high RPM operation up to 23,900 RPM, which aligns with typical requirements of compact, fast-cutting setups used in shop environments.
When selecting this wheel, users should consider the balance of cut rate versus durability provided by 60-grit aluminum oxide and the need to maintain safe speeds appropriate for the tool and workpiece. The CGW45085 is packaged as individual wheels, with a box quantity listed as 50, which can support stocking and reordering in maintenance or fabrication settings. Practical use considerations include ensuring compatible 1/4-inch arbors on compatible high-speed die grinders and adhering to manufacturer RPM limits to prevent wheel breakage or unsafe operation. Regular inspection for cracks or wear and following standard wheel mounting and guard practices will help maintain performance and safety in routine cutting tasks.
