CGW 35616 4-1/2" X 1/8" X 7/8" WA24-S Type 27 24-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheel

The CGW 35616 grinding wheel is a 4-1/2 inch diameter, 1/8 inch thick wheel with a 7/8 inch arbor. Designed for rapid material removal on stainless steels and other ferrous metals, this Type 27 wheel features a WA24-S grain structure using white aluminum oxide. The 24-grit size and S-hardness designation indicate a balance between cut-rate and wheel life, suitable for heavyduty grinding applications where aggressive stock removal is desired. Its contaminant-free design contains less than 0.01% iron, sulfur, or chlorine, supporting rust- and corrosion-free results in metalworking environments where residue control is important.

The wheel is specified to run at up to 13300 RPM, aligning with common high-speed grinders used in fabrication and maintenance tasks. This combination of grain type, grit, and hardness informs its behavior: a relatively coarse grain for fast cutting with a ceramic-like wheel structure that is compatible with metal surfaces. The packaging indicates a package size of Each with a box quantity of 25 wheels, which is useful for bulk ordering and ensuring a ready supply for workshops with regular grinding needs.

When selecting this wheel, verify that the grinder spindle and tool mounting match a 7/8 inch arbor and that the workpiece material and desired finish accommodate a 24-grit aluminum oxide wheel. Proper dressing and mounting practices should be followed to maintain performance and safety. For maintenance, replace wheels in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and inspect for cracks or chips before use, particularly at high RPMs.
