CGW 49021 is a 2 inch by 3 inch aluminum oxide resin cone wheel designed for grinding and finishing metals in hard-to-reach areas. This Type 16 A16R wheel features 16-grit aluminum oxide abrasive bonded in a resin matrix, providing a balance of material removal and surface finish. The wheel is mounted on a 5/8-11 arbor, compatible with compatible rotary tools and angles grinders that accept standard threaded attachments. With a nominal RPM of 18,100, it is intended for high-speed applications where precise contours and access in restricted spaces are required. The packaging designates a single wheel per unit with a box quantity of 10, supporting batch purchases for shop workflows.
The 2" diameter and 3" width offer a distinct cone geometry that facilitates grinding and finishing in confined or contoured sections, such as fillets, welds, or interior corners. Aluminum oxide is a common abrasive in metalworking due to its durability and versatility across ferrous and nonferrous metals; however, performance depends on the workpiece material, feed rate, and cooling strategy. Given the Type 16 profile and A16R hardness rating, users can anticipate a robust wheel suitable for aggressive material removal while maintaining a reasonable surface quality, assuming proper tool speed and technique. Regular inspection for wheel wear, proper clamping, and adherence to manufacturer-rated speeds is advised to ensure safe operation and consistent results.
