CGW 54284 4-1/2" X .045" X 5/8"-11 Type 27 36-Grit Ceramic Cutting Wheel

The CGW 54284 is a Type 27 ceramic cutting wheel designed for high-performance material removal on angle grinders. With a 4-1/2 inch diameter, a thickness of .045 inch, and a 5/8-11 arbor, this wheel targets aggressive cutting on tough materials while maintaining a balance of speed and control on compatible equipment. The grain is described as ceramic, which is known for sharpness and endurance, and the wheel is rated for up to 13,300 RPM, making it suitable for high-powered grinding operations when used with the appropriate tool and guards.

What sets this wheel apart is its bonding system, engineered to extend wheel life under heavy use. This combination aims to deliver fast cutting without frequent wheel changes, which can reduce non-productive time on demanding jobs. The 36-grit ceramic composition provides a balance between material removal rate and finish, helping operators achieve efficient stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals when used with proper safety practices and PPE.

For job planning, ensure your grinder accepts 5/8-11 threaded arbors and operate within the wheel’s RPM rating, using appropriate guards and PPE. The product is sized for individual use and is packaged as single units with a quantity typical for field or shop stocking, though exact packaging details should be confirmed at purchase. Maintain wheel integrity by inspecting for cracks or damage before each use and replace if any defects are found.

Features:

• High performance sharp CERAMIC grain for extremely fast cutting.
• An advanced bonding system specially engineered to provide a longer life.
• Time and labor cost savings with maximum performance on high power machines.
