The CGW 38004 is a 6 inch by 1/2 inch by 1 inch T1 A-60M bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general-purpose stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks. This wheel uses brown aluminum oxide as its grain, a common choice for heavy-duty grinding applications that require robust material removal on ferrous metals and similar substrates. The Type 1 wheel configuration and a medium hardness grade (M) balance cutting action with wheel life, making it suitable for repetitive grinding cycles on a variety of workshop projects.
Constructed to deliver steady performance, the A-60M designation indicates a 60-grit grain that favors faster material removal while producing a relatively smoother finish than coarser grits. Its 6" diameter and 1/2" thickness correspond to typical bench and pedestal grinder mounts, and the 1" arbor/shank size aligns with common spindle standards found on many grinding machines. With a 4456 RPM rating, this wheel is intended for machines operating within that speed range, and adherence to RPM limits is important to maintain wheel integrity and safe operation.
This wheel is packaged as a single unit, ready for installation on compatible bench or pedestal grinders that accommodate a 1" arbor. When selecting for a project, verify that the workpiece material and grinding task align with brown aluminum oxide wheels and that the grinder’s spindle speed does not exceed the wheel’s rated RPM. Routine inspection for cracks, glazing, and wear, along with proper mounting and dressing as needed, will help ensure consistent performance and safe use.
