CGW 45145 9" X 1/16" X 5/8"-11 Type 27 60-Grit Zirconia Cutting Wheel

CGW 45145 is a 9-inch Type 27 depressed-center cutting wheel designed for fast material removal on steel and stainless steel. Its 60-grit zirconia-alumina blend combines abrasion-resistant properties with aggressive cutting action, supporting longer wheel life and higher material throughput in demanding metal-working applications. The wheel’s dimensions are 9" diameter, 1/16" thickness, and a 5/8"-11 arbor, with a Type 27 profile suitable for off-hand and angle grinder use. The S-grade hardness indicates a balance between cut-rate and durability for trade-off personnel working with sheet and plate metal.

The zirconia/aluminum oxide formulation is intended to optimize performance by reducing glazing and heat buildup during grinding, which can help maintain wheel integrity when cutting through tougher materials. This wheel is compatible with standard 5/8-11 accessories and can be used in common angle grinder setups that accommodate Type 27 discs. Each wheel is designed for user-friendly mounting on compatible grinders, and CGW packaging provides count-oriented options to fit shop inventory needs.

For best results, select this wheel for cutting tasks on carbon steel and stainless steel where fast cutting and longer service life are priorities. Ensure proper grinding technique and PPE are used, and verify fixture and guard compatibility with a 9" wheel before operation. The product is sold in box quantities of 10, with the suitable arbor size already specified on the wheel to streamline replacement in maintenance workflows.
