CGW 49005 5" X 2" X 5/8"-11 Type 11 A24Q 24-Grit Aluminum Oxide Resin Cup Wheel

CGW 49005 is a 5-inch by 2-inch aluminum oxide resin cup wheel with a 5/8-11 arbor, designed for Type 11 grinding applications on tough materials. This wheel features a 24-grit abrasive, and the Q grade indicates a particular hardness and bonding that yields consistent performance under demanding shop conditions. The combination of aluminum oxide abrasive and a resin bond is typical for cup wheels used on steel and related metals, offering effective material removal with a balanced cut and favorable wheel life when paired with compatible grinders and workholding. The Type 11 cup shape provides a broad contact surface and a robust edge for edge grinding, contour work, and surface prep on flat or curved profiles. Keep in mind that verified wheel geometry and mounting compatibility are essential for safe operation; ensure your tooling aligns with a 5/8-11 arbor and that the grinder is rated for the wheel’s RPM.

This CGW wheel is packaged as a single unit (per the specified package size) and is intended for standard workshop use in facility maintenance environments. The 24-grit designation indicates a relatively coarse abrasive suitable for rapid material removal on metals, but it may produce more surface roughness than finer grits. When selecting abrasive products, match the wheel’s grit, bond, and hardness to the workpiece material and the desired finish, and always observe manufacturer recommendations for grinding speeds and safety practices.

Compatibility and practical considerations: verify the wheel’s diameter (5 in), thickness (2 in), and arbor size (5/8-11 in) against your grinder and mounting flanges. Ensure proper wheel conditioning and inspection before use, and replace the wheel if cracks, chips, or signs of imbalance appear. The data indicates 7260 RPM as a reference operating speed, so confirm the grinder’s speed rating and provide adequate cooling and dust control during grinding operations.
