The CGW 35287 centerless and cylindrical grinding wheel is designed for precise finishing of the outer surface of round workpieces. This wheel features a 20 inch diameter, 6 inch width, and 12 inch arbor/shank size, making it suitable for large-capacity cylindrical grinding applications. Its composition combines black silicon carbide grain with a 60 grit/72C grade specification, which supports efficient material removal on non-ferrous metals and harder materials such as carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome. The wheel is identified as a Type 1 centerless/cylindrical wheel, a configuration chosen to maintain consistent peripheral contact and grind quality across the workpiece diameter. The listed RPM of 1623 reflects the operating speed appropriate for its size and grain, underscoring the need to match spindle and safety parameters to the wheel’s rating.
Documented construction details point to its use in precision finishing tasks where a stable, concentric grinding action is required. The 60-grit sizing indicates a balance between material removal and surface finish, suitable for shaping and trueing round components in non-ferrous material contexts and selected hard materials listed in the capabilities. When selecting this wheel, ensure compatibility with your grinding machine’s arbor/shank interface and verify correct mounting to avoid runout. Proper handling, mounting, and dressing procedures are essential to maximize wheel life and achieve consistent results in centerless or cylindrical grinding setups.
In practice, this wheel supports applications involving outer-surface finishing of round workpieces where the workpiece material aligns with the wheel’s non-ferrous/abrasive capabilities. Maintenance considerations include ensuring correct fixation, regular dressing to maintain wheel geometry, and using appropriate guards and safety practices during operation. Package sizing indicates individual (each) packaging, aligning with standard inventory and replacement workflows for facility maintenance and metalworking operations.
