The CGW 36108 grinding wheel is a 4-1/2 inch diameter, 1/4 inch thick wheel with a 5/8-11 arbor, designed for use on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and zinc. Its Type 27 depressed center profile provides a stable, broad contact surface intended for off-hand and angle grinding, helping to manage material removal on non-ferrous workpieces.
Constructed with a 30-grit calcium stearate bonded grinding wheel featuring premium aluminum oxide grain, this wheel is engineered to deliver a relatively aggressive cut while minimizing loading on soft metals. The soft N-grade bond is selected to support efficient weld removal and consistent performance when grinding aluminum and similar alloys. This combination is aimed at tasks requiring material-specific grinding action with controlled heat buildup and chip formation.
Practical applications include deburring, weld removal, and surface finishing on aluminum, copper, zinc, and other non-ferrous materials. When selecting wheels for aluminum, users should consider wheel hardness, grain type, and bond to balance cut rate with surface integrity. This wheel is supplied in a boxed package with individual wheels per unit; refer to the packaging for the exact count and storage considerations to maintain wheel performance.
