The CGW 49012 6" x 2" x 5/8"-11 Type 11 resin cup wheel is designed for heavy-duty grinding and surface finishing on metal. This wheel features a 24-grit aluminum oxide grain, selected for aggressive material removal on steel and other metals, with a Type 11 cup configuration that provides a recessed grinding face suitable for flat and contoured surfaces. The wheel’s soft resin bond helps maintain cutting action while the steel back lends structural support during heavy grinding, contributing to consistent performance under demanding shop conditions.
Construction details indicate combination options across the grain and bond choices, with the 5/8"-11 arbor designed to fit common bench and pedestal grinders. The specified diameter of 6 inches and width of 2 inches offer a compact yet capable wheel for tasks such as weld removal, deburring, and preparation of metal substrates prior to coating or finishing. As with all resin-bonded cup wheels, effective operation depends on correct mounting, proper guard use, and adherence to grinder speed ratings; users should verify RPM compatibility with their equipment to ensure safe and efficient grinding.
Common applications include tough steel applications where aggressive material removal is required, and the wheel can be used on castings or cast iron as part of appropriate metal preparation workflows. The product is sold as a single wheel per package, with a 5/8"-11 arbor size that matches many standard grinding machines. When selecting this wheel, confirm your grinder’s arbor thread and RPM specification to avoid underspeed or overspeed issues and ensure the wheel is mounted and balanced properly for safe operation.
