CGW 49007 5" X 2" X 5/8"-11 Type 11 CA16N 16-Grit Aluminum Oxide / Silicion Carbide Resin Cup Wheel

The CGW 49007 is a 5 inch by 2 inch by 5/8 inch-11 Type 11 resin cup wheel designed for heavy-duty grinding and shaping tasks on metal and concrete surfaces. This wheel combines an aluminum oxide and silicon carbide blend to address a range of materials, offering a versatile option for both metalwork and masonry preparation. The Type 11 cup shape provides a broad grinding face with a reinforced resin bond that helps maintain wheel integrity under demanding conditions while reducing heat buildup during use.

Construction notes indicate a 16-grit formulation with a hard, Narified (N) hardness rating, which supports controlled material removal and a consistent finish on tough steel and cast components. The aluminum oxide/ Silicon carbide mix is specified for different applications: aluminum oxide alone is effective for tough steel; the CA blend supports castings, cast iron, and aluminum; and silicon carbide is noted for cleaning and finishing concrete, masonry, and stone. This combination enables the wheel to handle mixed-material work in a single operation, depending on the workpiece and grinding action.

For practical use, users should select this wheel when working with castings or metal surfaces requiring aggressive stock removal while maintaining a relatively smooth finish. The wheel is sized with a 5/8-11 arbor and is suitable for compatible grinders capable of safely operating at up to 7,260 RPM. Packaging lists it as a single piece per box, aligning with typical shop procurement for specific tooling tasks. When mounting, follow standard safety practices for cup wheels, ensuring proper alignment, guard clearance, and personal protective equipment to manage debris and vibration during grinding tasks.
