CGW 36156 is a 9-inch diameter grinding wheel designed for non-ferrous metal finishing, particularly aluminum. Built with a 9" diameter, 1/4" thickness, and 7/8" arbor, this Type 27 wheel features 30-grit calcium stearate bonded with a soft N-grade matrix. The grain is aluminum oxide, chosen for its balance of cutting action and resistance to loading on non-ferrous materials, helping maintain a consistent cutting surface when grinding aluminum, copper, zinc, and similar materials. The A30-N designation signals an assembly suitable for flap-application-like action where a controlled, relatively aggressive cut is needed without excessive heat buildup in softer metals.
The wheel’s calcium stearate formulation contributes to reduced loading and smoother grinding while the soft N-grade bond supports efficient weld removal and material removal in non-ferrous work. This combination is intended to produce a cleaner edge with less gumming of the wheel during aluminum grinding, which can be advantageous when preparing weld seams or removing excess material on lightweight metals. The wheel is specified to run at up to 6,600 RPM, making it appropriate for compatible grinders and ensuring that speed, grit, and bond work together to deliver steady material removal.
Typical use scenarios include deburring, weld prep, and finishing on aluminum and other non-ferrous metals such as copper and zinc. When selecting this wheel, verify that your tool’s arbor size matches the 7/8" arbor and that your grinder’s RPM is within the wheel’s rated 6,600 RPM to avoid overspeed. Packaging is noted as individual wheels with a 25-piece box quantity, which supports bulk purchases for facility maintenance or fabrication shops.
