CGW 45141 4-1/2" X .045" X 5/8"-11 Type 27 60-Grit Zirconia Cutting Wheel

The CGW 45141 Zirconia cutting wheel is designed for fast material removal on metalworking applications. Sized at 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a thin 0.045 inch thickness and a 5/8-11 hub, this Type 27 wheel targets aggressive cutting in a right-angle grinder setup. The formulation blends zirconia with aluminum oxide to balance cutting speed and wheel life, which can translate to fewer wheel changes in demanding shop environments while maintaining a measurable removal rate on steel and stainless steel components.

Key construction features include a zirconia-alumina blend and a 60-grit surface, selected to deliver efficient stock removal while providing a robust cutting action under typical shop conditions. The wheel operates at up to 13,300 RPM, so users should select compatible grinders and observe manufacturer guidelines to ensure safe operation. The Type 27 profile is intended for grinding-off and cutting on flat surfaces and near-vertical surfaces, as appropriate for metalworking tasks where wheel-face exposure is optimized for material removal rather than precision shaping.

Practical considerations include using the wheel in appropriate safety setups, analyzing the workpiece material, and confirming compatibility with your grinder’s arbor and guard configuration. This wheel is packaged as individual units, with a box quantity of 10, supporting stocking and project-based usage in maintenance and fabrication settings. Always verify that the tool, RPM rating, and mounting size align with your equipment before use to maintain safe, efficient performance.
