The CGW 35627 grinding wheel is a 5-inch diameter, 1/4-inch thick, 7/8-inch arbor Type 27 wheel designed for fast stock removal on aluminum oxide surfaces. Its 24-grit size and A24-N bond classify it as a relatively coarse, fast-cutting wheel with a soft N-grade bond, which helps balance aggressive material removal with wheel life. This construction supports efficient grinding on nonferrous metals and similar substrates where rapid material removal is prioritized.
The wheel’s aluminum oxide grain is paired with a bond formulation intended to optimize grinding efficiency while minimizing wheel wear under typical fast-cutting operations. The Type 27 profile provides a depressed center suitable for flat and angled grinding applications, offering clearance for workpiece contours and controlling heat buildup during heavy material removal. The result is a wheel that can achieve higher material removal rates compared to finer-grit counterparts, particularly on softer metals where a softer bond aids in sustained cutting action.
When using this wheel, consider the application needs for aluminum oxide wheels of this grit and size: ensure compatible grinding machines run at appropriate RPMs up to or near 12,200 RPM, and confirm the 7/8-inch arbor matches your spindle. Maintain proper dressing and inspection routines to preserve wheel shape and performance, and replace if you notice glazing, cracks, or loss of truing. The package size is listed as Each, with a box quantity of 25, which can influence stocking and purchasing decisions for shop workflows.
