CGW 54281 is a high-performance cutting wheel designed for metalworking applications on compatible equipment. This Type 1 wheel features a 5 inch diameter, 0.045 inch thickness, and a 7/8 inch arbor to fit standard grinding machines that accept Type 1 ceramic wheels. The wheel is manufactured with ceramic grain and a specialized bonding system intended to deliver fast cutting action while promoting longer wheel life. The 36-grit ceramic composition is chosen to balance material removal rate with durability on demanding tasks, helping to reduce cycle times on high-power machines where aggressive material removal is required.
The combination of the ceramic grain and engineered bond supports efficient cutting under heavy loads, making it suitable for applications that demand sustained performance from a relatively thin wheel. This product is shipped in a package that contains 25 wheels per box, which is convenient for maintenance schedules and batching usage in facility operations. When selecting this wheel, ensure the machine’s spindle and guard compatibility with a 7/8 inch arbor and Type 1 wheel configuration, and follow standard safety practices for grinding operations, including proper PPE and workpiece stabilization.
Why these verified technical details matter: the 5" diameter and 0.045" thickness define the working envelope and contact area with the workpiece, while the 7/8" arbor determines mounting compatibility with common grinders. The 36 grit ceramic rating informs both aggressiveness and surface finish achievable in metal-cutting tasks, and the Type 1 designation indicates the wheel shape appropriate for flush-face cutting. Packaging details (25 wheels per box) help with planning inventory and job-site reorders.
