CGW’s 6 inch aluminum oxide cutting wheel is designed for general-purpose metal cutting applications on ferrous materials. The wheel features a Type 1 flat design suitable for chop-saw style cutters and is formulated with aluminum oxide abrasive grains to provide efficient material removal on steel. At a diameter of 6 inches and a thickness of 0.045 inches, it is paired with a 7/8 inch arbor to fit standard cutting machinery, and a 60-grit structure that balances cut rate with surface finish. The wheel is rated for up to 10,200 RPM and is designated with a T-hardness grade, indicating a balanced balance between cut performance and wheel life for typical cutting tasks. Each wheel is intended for general purpose cutting use, making it a common choice for shop maintenance and fabrication work where steel cutting is routine.
In practice, the combination of a 6" diameter, 0.045" thickness, and 60-grit aluminum oxide grain supports moderate material removal rates while maintaining control and reasonable tool life. The Type 1 configuration provides a flat, straight cutting face suitable for penetrating through metal stock with consistency. For buyers, it’s important to confirm compatibility with the existing chop-saw or cutoff machine—specifically, matching the 7/8" arbor and ensuring the machine’s RPM rating aligns with or exceeds the wheel’s maximum operating speed of 10,200 RPM. This product is packaged as single units, with items typically sold in boxes of 25, which is useful for bulk procurement and maintenance stocking.
