CGW 45142 5" X .045" X 5/8"-11 Type 27 60-Grit Zirconia Cutting Wheel is designed for fast, efficient material removal on metal surfaces. This wheel combines zirconia and aluminum oxide grains to optimize cut rate and life, making it suitable for cutting steel and stainless steel in industrial settings. With a Type 27 depressed center and a 5/8"-11 arbor, it fits compatible angle grinders and compatible mounting hardware used for metalworking tasks.
Constructed for moderate-hardness applications, the 60-grit grain provides a balance between aggressiveness and finish. The wheel’s S-grade hardness supports steady performance under typical cutting loads while the zirconia composition contributes to extended life compared with standard alumina formulations. The 0.045" thickness offers a reduces kerf and helps manage heat generation during cutting, which can influence tool wear and workpiece quality. This item is packaged as single wheels, with a box quantity of 10, making it convenient for stocking and replacement in shop environments.
When using this wheel, ensure proper safety practices and verify grinder compatibility with a 5/8"-11 mounting arbor. Maintain appropriate guarding, personal protective equipment, and wheel rpm ratings to match the grinder’s capabilities and the wheel’s maximum RPM (12200). The combination of fast cutting and durability suits metal fabrication, maintenance, and facility repair tasks that involve steel or stainless steel components.
