CGW 35617 4-1/2" X 1/8" X 5/8"-11 WA24-S Type 27 24-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheel

The CGW 35617 grinding wheel is a 4-1/2 inch diameter, 1/8 inch thick wheel designed for fast cutting of stainless steel and ferrous metals. This Type 27 wheel features a 24-grit, white aluminum oxide grain formulation and an S-hardness rating, making it suitable for high-speed applications on compatible grinders. Its contaminant-free design minimizes iron, sulfur, and chlorine content to help reduce rust and corrosion in the workpiece and wheel, which is beneficial when finishing metal surfaces.

The wheel is sized with a 5/8-11 arbor, matching common right-angle grinders and ensuring proper mounting stability at the stated RPM of 13,300. The 24-grit specification provides a balance between aggressive material removal and finish control, making it appropriate for tasks that require rapid stock removal on stainless and other ferrous metals while maintaining a reasonable surface quality. The wheel is packaged as an individual item, with a box quantity of 10, which may influence stocking levels and replenishment planning.

For best results, ensure the wheel is mounted securely and that the grinder’s speed does not exceed the wheel’s rated RPM. Use with appropriate safety gear and follow all grinder and wheel manufacturer guidelines. This product’s documented composition and grain type matter because they influence cutting performance and rust-free outcomes on treated or clean metal surfaces.
