The CGW 36240 is a center- or right-angle compatible grinding plug designed for metalworking applications where access is limited. It features a 2" diameter by 3" wheel face with a 5/8-11 arbor shank and 24-grit aluminum oxide abrasive, suitable for both grinding and finishing tasks in tight spots. The Type 18R A24R designation identifies its style and recommended usage in resin-bonded plugs, aligning with standard industrial grinding practices for consistent material removal and surface finish in challenging geometries.
Construction uses aluminum oxide grain bonded in a resin matrix, which provides a balance of cutting efficiency and durability for metal surfaces. The 24-grit size is appropriate for material removal while preserving surface integrity, and the R hardness/grade designation suggests a balance between rigidity and conformity under load. With an 18-type configuration, this plug is intended for shaping and blending where a straight, perpendicular approach to the workpiece is feasible, and RPM compatibility is listed at up to 18,100, indicating a need to match the speed to the application and grinder capability.
Typical use cases include grinding and finishing metal components in confined or hard-to-reach areas, such as internal corners, edges, or features that standard shapening tools cannot access easily. When selecting, verify the arbor size (5/8-11) to ensure proper mounting on your grinder, and confirm that the workpiece and tooling can tolerate the wheel’s aggressiveness and heat generation. Packaging specifies individual units in boxes of ten, which can influence procurement planning and inventory management for shop-floor operations.
