CGW 36262 7" X 1/4" X 5/8"-11 A24-R Type 27 24-Grit Fast Cut Aluminum Oxide Grinding Wheel

CGW 36262 is a 7-inch diameter Type 27 wheel designed for rapid material removal on aluminum and related metals. With a 1/4-inch thick wheel and a 5/8-11 arbor, this A24-R grade wheel uses aluminum oxide grain to deliver fast stock removal while maintaining a reasonable surface finish on flat, weld, and contour edges typical of fast-cut grinding operations. The A24-R designation indicates a resin bond with a relatively aggressive grind life suitable for extended use on tough materials, making it a practical choice for workshop and facility maintenance tasks that require quick material throughput on metal parts and assemblies.

The wheel is engineered with a combination of high-quality aluminum oxide grain and a resin bond to balance cutting efficiency and wheel life. The 24-grit size provides a coarse surface suitable for aggressive material removal, while the Type 27 profile is optimized for grinding on off-angle surfaces, welds, and irregular shapes commonly encountered in fabrication and maintenance applications. The R-grade hardness helps preserve wheel structure under heavy cutting loads and helps mitigate wheel breakdown during extended cycles at higher RPMs.

For practical use, users should ensure appropriate grinder compatibility with a 5/8-11 arbor and observe standard safety practices for grinding operations. This wheel is packaged as a single unit, with a box quantity of 10 per package, making it suitable for maintenance crews or shop setups that need reliable supply for routine grinding tasks. Always verify that the application requirements align with the wheel’s grain type and bond characteristics to achieve the desired balance of material removal rate and wheel life.
