CGW 49009 is a 6-inch diameter, 2-inch wide resin-bonded cup wheel designed for aggressive material removal on ferrous metals and related castings. This Type 11 wheel features a 5/8-11 arbor and a 16-grit aluminum oxide grain, with a Q (hardness) rating that supports higher RPM grinding in demanding applications. The cup shape concentrates grinding energy at the edge of the wheel, making it suitable for open surfaces, welds, burrs, and edge profiling. The wheel’s resin bond is intended to withstand the heat and friction typical of heavy grinding, helping to manage wheel integrity under load while maintaining material removal rates.
The specification indicates a composition suitable for tough steel applications with aluminum oxide grain, and a mixed option that includes aluminum oxide with silicon carbide for use on castings, cast iron, and aluminum. While the primary data identifies aluminum oxide, the presence of multiple grain options suggests versatility depending on the exact bonding and abrasive mix selected for this wheel. Operators should consider application material and surface finish requirements when selecting wheels of this type, and confirm that the 6" diameter, 2" width, and 5/8"-11 arbor match the tool and guard configuration in your grinding setup. The 7260 RPM rating provides a practical operating speed for this wheel and should be matched to the grinder’s maximum speed to avoid wheel wobble or failure.
This product ships as a single unit per package and is intended for use in general facility maintenance tasks such as deburring, edge cleanup, and preparation of metal surfaces prior to finishing. When mounting, verify proper fl amount and seating of the arbor to prevent runout, and inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before use to avoid wheel fracture during operation.
