CGW 36259 6" X 1/4" X 7/8" A24-R Type 27 24-Grit Fast Cut Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheel

The CGW 36259 grinding wheel is a 6-inch, 1/4-inch thick Type 27 wheel designed for fast material removal on aluminum oxide. With a 7/8-inch arbor, this wheel uses an A24-R grade bond and 24-grit abrasive to balance durability with aggressive stock removal. The R-grade bond is specified to extend wheel life while maintaining effective grinding action on aluminum oxide grains, making it suitable for applications that demand faster cutting rates without excessive wheel wear.

This wheel’s construction centers on a high-quality aluminum oxide grain, which is a common choice for general-purpose grinding on non-ferrous metals. The Type 27 profile is shaped for depressed-center grinding, providing contact with the workpiece at an angle that aids in corner and edge grinding while managing heat buildup during use. The combination of wheel dimensions, grain size, and bond hardness affects cutting efficiency, chatter, and finished surface quality, so selecting this wheel aligns with tasks requiring steady stock removal on aluminum alloys.

Practical use considerations include mounting to compatible right-angle grinders that accept a 7/8-inch arbor and running at up to 10,200 RPM, as indicated by its rated speed. The package configuration lists the wheel as an individual item with packaging quantity options appropriate for stock management in maintenance and fabrication settings. When selecting this wheel, verify the workpiece material is compatible with aluminum oxide, ensure correct mounting safety practices, and follow grinder manufacturer guidelines for operating speed and wheel guards to promote consistent performance.
