The CGW 35681 is a 7 inch diameter zirconia pipeline grinding wheel designed for heavy-duty material removal on steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. This ZA24-T Type 27 wheel features a 24-grit zirconia grain, which provides a balance of rapid stock removal and a longer wheel life due to self-sharpening grain action. With a thickness of 1/8 inch and an 7/8 inch arbor size, it is built to fit standard pipeline grinding and finishing setups that accommodate Type 27 depressed center wheels. The wheel is specified to operate at up to 8500 RPM, a performance parameter that reflects its suitability for high-speed grinding tasks in fabrication and maintenance environments.
The combination of zirconia grain and the Type 27 wheel design targets efficient edge grinding and material reshaping on curved or pipework geometries, where access can be limited and consistent contact is essential. This construction aims to deliver consistent material removal while managing heat and wear, making it a practical choice for tasks such as deburring, edge prep, and surface finishing on pipe runs and related components. Practical considerations include ensuring compatibility with your grinder’s RPM rating, securing the wheel in a compatible right-angle grinder, and following standard safety practices for wheel use and mounting.
Packaging for CGW35681 specifies a 25-count box (each wheel) as the package unit, which supports replenishment needs for shops performing routine pipeline grinding tasks. For best results, verify your grinder’s arbor compatibility with the 7/8 inch shank size and confirm that your application aligns with Type 27 depressed-center wheel usage and 24-grit zirconia for the desired material removal rate.
