The CGW 38026 is a bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks. With a 10-inch diameter and a 1-inch thickness, this wheel features a 1-1/4 inch arbor and a 24-grit brown aluminum oxide abrasive. The A-24Q designation identifies its Z-rated (Q) hardness and standard Type 1 form for flat grinding applications. This configuration is commonly used for heavy-duty material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, offering a balance of material removal rate and surface finish suitable for maintenance and fabrication environments.
Constructed for versatile metalworking use, the wheel’s brown aluminum oxide grain provides robust performance across a range of workpieces and tolerances. The Type 1 wheel shape is optimized for flat, face contact on bench and pedestal grinders, which helps produce consistent stock removal while maintaining dimensional control on edges and contours. The 24-grit size is relatively coarse, enabling efficient material removal on roughing passes, with consideration for subsequent finishing steps if a finer grind is required. The wheel runs at up to 2,483 RPM, a rating aligned with common grinder speeds for this size and grain, which informs selection for compatible machines and guarding.
For practical use, verify your grinder’s arbor size and speed against the wheel’s specifications before mounting. Proper wheel mounting, guarding, and dressing practices are essential to safe operation and consistent performance. This wheel is packaged as a single unit, suitable for immediate replacement in maintenance or shop setups that require a reliable bench or pedestal grinding solution.
