The CGW CGW49013 is a 6 inch diameter cup wheel designed for heavy duty surface grinding and cleaning tasks. This Type 11 wheel features a 2 inch width and a 5/8-11 arbor, making it compatible with common grinders and utility machines used in facility maintenance and metalworking operations. Its 16-grit silicon carbide formulation provides aggressive material removal while maintaining a relatively smooth finish on tough substrates.
The wheel’s construction centers on a silicon carbide abrasive bonded with resin and backed by a steel support, contributing to resilience under demanding grinding conditions. The Type 11 cup shape enables effective access to recessed areas and irregular surfaces, which is particularly advantageous when preparing castings, removing coatings, or cleaning concrete, masonry, or stone in appropriate applications. The grade information indicates a hardened abrasive suitable for sustained use under heavy workloads, and the wheel is rated for up to 6048 RPM, aligning with standard high-speed grinders used in industrial settings.
When selecting this wheel, users should consider the material being processed—silicon carbide is typically favored for non-ferrous metals, stone, and castings, while aluminum oxide variants are listed for different applications. Ensure proper mounting and safety practices, including confirming arbor compatibility (5/8-11) and using appropriate personal protective equipment. This item is packaged as a single wheel per box, with the part number CGW49013 remaining the exact manufacturer reference for ordering and replacement compatibility.
