CGW 70109 20" X 3/16" X 1" Type 1 24-Grit Aluminum Oxide Cutting Wheel

The CGW 70109 20" x 3/16" x 1" Type 1 24-Grit Aluminum Oxide Cutting Wheel is designed for heavy-duty cutoff tasks in metal fabrication and maintenance environments. This wheel uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain, chosen for its balance of toughness and cutting efficiency on ferrous metals. The Type 1 profile indicates a flat, standard cutting wheel suitable for stationary cut-off equipment, helping operators achieve square, precise cuts on structural steel, bar stock, tubing, and similar materials. The wheel’s 24-grit designation places it in a coarse range optimized for rapid material removal while maintaining reasonable control in demanding applications. Its 20-inch diameter, 3/16-inch thickness, and 1-inch arbor fitment are specified to ensure compatibility with compatible cutoff machines that accept these dimensions, enabling straightforward installation and reliable performance when properly mounted and guarded.

In practice, this wheel is a practical choice for facilities performing routine metal cutting where thick stock or heavy sections must be severed efficiently. The aluminum oxide composition is a standard choice for steel and metal cutting, offering a durable abrasive matrix appropriate for stationary cut-off operations under typical shop conditions. Use should follow manufacturer guidelines for wheel mounting, guard clearance, and maximum operating RPM to maintain safety and achieve predictable cut quality. When selecting replacement wheels, verify that the machine’s arbor size, wheel diameter, and thickness align with the listed specifications to ensure proper seating and balance during operation. The packaging lists each wheel individually, with a box quantity of 10, which assists with inventory planning and replacement scheduling.
