The CGW 70131 is a 6-inch diameter convolute wheel designed for high-speed grinding tasks on metal and other materials. With a 1/2-inch thickness and a 1-inch arbor, this wheel is sized for machines and setups that support standard 6" wheels, offering a medium 8 hardness grade that provides a balance between material removal and wheel life. The wheel uses aluminum oxide abrasive, a common choice for general-purpose grinding and finishing applications where a robust, durable cut is needed without excessive loading.
Convolute wheels feature a layered, spiral-wound construction that maintains wheel shape and flatness under heavy use, and CGW emphasizes long service life even when encountering sharp edges. This design helps minimize wheel changes during production runs and reduces heat buildup and loading, which can degrade performance and finish. The medium grade and the 6" size are suitable for shaping, deburring, and surface finishing tasks on various metals and alloy workpieces, provided the wheel is used with appropriate guards, speeds, and safety practices.
When selecting this wheel, confirm your equipment supports a 6" wheel with a 1" arbor and that your operating RPM rating aligns with or exceeds 6000 RPM to ensure safe, effective performance. Maintain proper grinding conditions, including suitable guards and personal protective equipment, and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before use. Package is listed as each, aligning with single-wheel replacements for bench grinders or similar tooling setups.
