CGW 38009 6" X 3/4" X 1" T1 A-60M 60-Grit Brown Aluminum Oxide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38009 is a bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks in maintenance and fabrication environments. This wheel features a 6-inch diameter, a 3/4-inch thick body, and a 1-inch arbor/shank to fit common grinder spindles used in workshop and facility maintenance settings. The wheel uses brown aluminum oxide abrasive (A-60M), a standard choice for durable material removal on a variety of metals, including steel and castings. At 60-grit, it provides a balanced blend of material removal rate and finish quality, suitable for routine grinding work where a moderate surface texture is acceptable. The M-hardness grade indicates a medium wheel hardness, offering reliable performance across a range of workloads while maintaining wheel integrity under typical grinding pressures.

This wheel is intended for general-purpose applications, not specialized or high-precision grinding. It supports tasks such as removing burrs, smoothing edges, and reshaping contours on common metal components. When selecting this wheel, ensure compatibility with your grinder’s arbor size and RPM. The rated speed of 4456 RPM matches standard 60-grit aluminum oxide wheels, helping ensure safe operation within equipment limits. For best results, inspect the wheel prior to use, follow standard grinding practices, and replace if you notice cracks, glazing, or excessive wear. Proper guarding and PPE should always accompany grinding operations to minimize risk of injury.

In terms of packaging and compatibility, this wheel is listed as an individual item with a 1-piece package, designed for use on bench or pedestal grinders that accommodate a 1-inch arbor. Verify your grinder’s spindle compatibility and maximum operating RPM to confirm safe integration with this CGW wheel.
