CGW 35643 7" X 1/4" X 5/8"-11 A24-N Type 27 24-Grit Fast Cut Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheel

The CGW 35643 7" X 1/4" X 5/8"-11 A24-N Type 27 24-Grit Fast Cut Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheel is designed for rapid material removal on a variety of metalworking tasks. This wheel uses aluminum oxide grain paired with a soft N-grade bond, which facilitates aggressive stock removal while maintaining controlled wheel wear. The Type 27 profile is shaped for off-axis grinding, allowing efficient material penetration on angled surfaces and irregular geometries common in fabrication and maintenance applications. With a 7 inch diameter, a 1/4 inch thickness, and a 5/8-11 inch arbor, the wheel is compatible with standard right-angle grinders that accept this mounting size, enabling straightforward integration into existing tool setups. The 24-grit specification indicates a coarser grind suitable for removing paint, rust, and oxide layers or breaking through heavy stock, while the N-grade bond helps balance hardness and wheel life for repeated use under demanding grinding conditions.

In practice, this wheel is positioned for fast stock removal without sacrificing the overall control needed for a stable grinding action. Users should treat the larger wheel diameter and the Type 27 configuration as a tool for aggressive contouring and edge work on metal surfaces, rather than fine finishing. Operational considerations include ensuring appropriate guarding, verifying RPM compatibility up to 8500 RPM, and selecting compatible mounting hardware to secure the 5/8-11 arbor. For workflow efficiency, this wheel is supplied in pack quantities of ten, which can support multi-workpiece sessions or shop-wide use without frequent reordering. The documented sizing—7" diameter, 1/4" thickness, 5/8-11" arbor—and the Type 27/nature of the grain make it straightforward to match to compatible grinders and to plan for replacement intervals based on grit wear and stock-removal needs.
