CGW 49000 is a 4-inch by 2-inch cup wheel designed for surface grinding and material removal on tough steel and similar substrates. This Type 11, 16-grit wheel features a 5/8-11 arbor, enabling secure attachment to compatible grinders. The wheel’s construction uses aluminum oxide abrasive, a common choice for aggressive material removal on ferrous metals, and the resin bond is formulated to withstand the heat and pressures generated during high-RPM grinding.
What distinguishes this wheel is its combination of size, grain, and bond for heavy-duty applications. With a diameter of 4 inches, a face width of 2 inches, and a thickness of 5/8 inch, it is suited for contour grinding, weld removal, and flat-stock finishing tasks where a cup wheel style offers both stability and access to recessed areas. The 9070 RPM rating provides a clear operating range for compatible angle grinders, and the 16-grit aluminum oxide material is intended for rapid material removal on tough metals. As with all resin-bonded cup wheels, proper guard distance, dressing as needed, and adherence to manufacturer RPM limits are important for safe operation.
This item is sold as a single wheel per package, with CGW49000 serving as the exact manufacturer part number. When selecting replacement wheels, match the arbor size (5/8-11), wheel type (Type 11), diameter, thickness, and grit to your specific grinding task and equipment. Users should verify that the wheel is appropriate for their grinder and application, and observe all safety guidelines for wheel use, including appropriate PPE and wheel guards.
