The CGW 36260 is a 6-inch Type 27 grinding wheel designed for fast cutting and broad surface contact on aluminum oxide abrasive applications. This wheel uses a 1/4-inch thick profile and a 5/8-11 arbor to fit compatible right-angle grinders and stationary tools, making it suitable for stock removal on metal surfaces where a larger contact area improves material removal rates. The wheel’s A24-R designation indicates a particular resin-bonded composition and a relatively long life for tasks demanding steady, aggressive grinding action, with grit at 24 providing a balance between material removal and surface finish quality.
Constructed with aluminum oxide grain, the wheel is intended for rougher grinding tasks on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, where durability and reasonable wheel life are priorities. The R-grade bond implies a resin bond and a wheel hardness that supports extended service under moderate grinding pressure while resisting loading and glazing in typical workshop use. Operators should manage wheel RPM according to the rated speed (10200 RPM) to maintain performance and safety, especially given the wheel’s aggressive grain size and Type 27 profile, which is optimized for flat to slightly curved surfaces and edge contact on the workpiece.
Practical use considerations include selecting it for fast stock removal on metal components where a larger diameter wheel is advantageous and the application permits 6
