CGW 49010 6" X 2" X 5/8"-11 Type 11 A24Q 24-Grit Aluminum Oxide Resin Cup Wheel

The CGW 49010 is a 6-inch by 2-inch by 5/8-11 threaded cup wheel designed for heavy material removal on steel and related substrates. This Type 11 cup wheel uses a 24-grit aluminum oxide grain, which provides a balance of aggressive material removal and a workable surface finish for grinding applications. The wheel is molded with an resin-bonded matrix to help maintain form under high rpm operation, while the low-profile cup shape concentrates grinding power at the edge to address recessed or contoured areas commonly encountered in fabrication and maintenance work.

Key construction details include aluminum oxide as the abrasive medium, with a grain size selected for coarser grinding tasks, and a resin bond that contributes to wheel profile retention during use. The 5/8-11 arbor size supports standard benchtop and angle grinders compatible with this common thread, and the wheel is rated for up to 6,048 RPM, which aligns with industrial grinding speeds for durable performance in metalworking environments. This combination of material, density, and bond is intended to balance material removal with wheel life in tougher steel applications while avoiding excessive heat buildup when used with appropriate technique.

Applicable use cases include surface preparation, deburring, and cleaning of heavy castings or steel components where a cup wheel’s geometry can access concave or recessed features. When selecting this wheel, verify grinder compatibility with a 5/8-11 arbor and confirm the RPM rating matches or exceeds the grinder’s operating speed. Packaging is described as a per-item wheel, suitable for stocking in facility maintenance or shop environments where quick replacement of worn grinding tools is needed.
