CGW 49015 is a Type 11 cup wheel designed for aggressive surface grinding and cleaning tasks on metal and masonry substrates. Sized at 6 inches in diameter with a 2-inch width and a 5/8-11 arbor, this wheel integrates a resin-bonded cup configuration to provide consistent material removal while maintaining a sturdy backing. The wheel features a mixed grain composition that includes Aluminum Oxide and Silicon Carbide, enabling effective grinding of tough steel surfaces as well as castings, cast iron, aluminum, and masonry materials depending on the specific grain mix used. The Q hardness designation indicates a relatively durable wheel intended for repetitive use under typical shop conditions, and a maximum rotational speed of 6,048 rpm informs safe mounting and operation within equipment tolerances.
The product is offered with a steel backing that contributes to dimensional stability during grinding and helps resist wheel breakage under normal use. Its Type 11 profile is shaped to clean and grind at angles that maximize material removal while avoiding gouging on flat or contoured surfaces. For buyers, the differing grain options embedded in the mix (A, CA, and SC variants) indicate the wheel’s versatility across applications—from rough metal finishing to concrete, masonry, and stone surface preparation—though the exact grain configuration specified here is Aluminum Oxide / Silicon Carbide (16-grit) per the data. This wheel is packaged as a single unit, suitable for immediate installation on compatible right-angle grinders or cylindrical grinders that accept a 5/8-11 arbor.
When selecting this wheel, consider the material you’re working with and the surface finish required. The 16-grit designation signals a coarser cut appropriate for rapid material removal, while the Type 11 cup shape supports edge grinding and contour work. Ensure your tool’s rpm rating matches or exceeds 6,048 rpm and verify arbor threading is correct (5/8-11). Regular inspection for wheel wear and proper mounting tightness will help maintain performance and safety during operation.
