The CGW 58060 is a 5" tool and cutter grinding wheel designed for precision metalworking applications. This wheel features pink aluminum oxide (PA) grain, a 60 grit size, and a T11 profile, which is suitable for general grinding tasks on various forms of tooling and cutter stock. The wheel’s diameter, thickness, and arbor size are specified to align with standard holding fixtures and grinding machines, ensuring stable performance during stock removal and shaping operations.
Constructed with a K-grade hardness, this wheel is intended for controlled material removal with a balance of cut rate and wheel life. The 1-3/4" thickness and 1-1/4" arbor/shank configuration support common tool & cutter grinding setups, while the T11 wheel type provides versatility for different part geometries. The 60-grit PA pink aluminum oxide composition contributes to consistent grinding action on tough steels and alloyed materials, with a finish appropriate for subsequent sharpening or finishing steps.
When selecting wheel shape, keep in mind that wheel geometry is driven by the part geometry and accessibility. For peripheral cutters, cup wheels are often chosen, while formed cutters may benefit from dish wheels. This CGW wheel is packaged as a single unit, with packaging configurations standard to the line, and is intended for use in compatible grinding machines and fixtures that accept a 1-1/4" arbor and a 5" wheel diameter. Review your tool geometry and machine spindle dimensions to ensure a proper fit and safe operation.
