This CGW 38012 grinding wheel is a 6 inch diameter, 1 inch wide, 1 inch arbor/bore wheel designed for bench and pedestal grinding tasks. It features brown aluminum oxide abrasive (A-36O) and a 36-grit size, which is suitable for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping on a variety of ferrous materials. The wheel’s type designation (1) and O hardness indicate a standard, general-purpose performance profile appropriate for routine surface finishing and material removal work with common grinding machines at typical operating speeds.
The wheel is engineered for use in general-purpose stock removal and finishing operations, with the grain choice and hardness rating reflecting a balance between effective material removal and controllable surface finish. Its brown aluminum oxide abrasive is widely used for its durability and broad compatibility with metals, helping to manage routine workpiece material removal without excessive loading when used within the recommended operating parameters. This makes it suitable for shop environments that perform routine sharpening and deburring tasks on metal components and tooling.
For practical use, verify compatibility with your bench or pedestal grinder’s wheel dimensions, arbor size, and maximum RPM to ensure safe operation. This 6" x 1" x 1" wheel is packaged as a single wheel unit, intended for replacement in compatible equipment. As with all grinding operations, ensure appropriate safety practices are followed, including guards, personal protective equipment, and adherence to machine manufacturer guidelines regarding speed and mounting.
