The CGW 49018 resin-bonded cone wheel is designed for grinding and finishing metal in tight or hard-to-reach areas. It features a 1-1/2 inch diameter and a 3 inch overall length with a 3/8-inch-24 type 16 arbor compatible profile, enabling secure attachment to compatible grinders and accessories. This tool uses aluminum oxide grain, a common choice for general-purpose metal grinding and finishing tasks, providing a balance of material removal and surface finish. The R-grade hardness designation indicates a relatively softer bond, which can contribute to controlled cut and easier wheel breakage for cooler operation under appropriate conditions. The wheel is listed with a 16 grit size, suitable for coarse to medium material removal on metal surfaces, depending on workpiece and feed rate. The rated operating speed of 24,100 RPM aligns with high-speed grinding applications typical for small-diameter cones, enabling efficient stock removal in confined spaces. Each unit is packaged individually, with a box quantity of 10, making it straightforward to stock and replace as part of a maintenance workflow.
Practical use of this resin cone includes grinding and finishing metal features, welds, and contours where standard wheels cannot reach. When selecting this accessory, verify the arbor size and thread pattern matches your grinder spindle or compatible adapters to ensure a secure fit and safe operation. Reserved for aluminum oxide grain, this product type is generally chosen for ferrous and non-ferrous metal work where a robust, abrading surface is needed, while maintaining manageable heat buildup and surface finish in tight radii. Proper cooling, dust collection, and guards should be considered to maximize tool life and operator safety during use.
