The CGW 38028 is a bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks. This wheel features a 10 inch diameter, 1 inch thickness, and a 1-1/4 inch arbor/shank size, making it compatible with standard bench and pedestal grinding setups. Its 46-grit Brown Aluminum Oxide grain is a common choice for heavy-duty material removal, providing a balance of material aggression and a reasonable finish. The wheel is designated as type 1 with a grade of M, indicating a medium-hard structure suitable for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, and it runs at a typical operating speed of 2,483 RPM. These factors influence both performance and surface finish when shaping or deburring parts.
Constructed for everyday workshop use, this CGW wheel adheres to the general-purpose role that brown aluminum oxide grains are known for in grinding applications. The 46-grit size is appropriate for tasks that require faster material removal while still delivering a workable surface finish. As with all grinding wheels, proper mounting, truing, and dressing are important to maintain accuracy and wheel life, and users should select the wheel hardness (M) in accordance with the workpiece material and desired grind rate. This wheel is packaged as a single unit, ready for installation into compatible bench or pedestal grinders that accept a 1-1/4 inch arbor.
Suitable use cases include initial stock removal on metal components, deburring flashed edges, and shaping operations where a robust, general-purpose wheel is appropriate. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinder’s RPM limits and mounting dimensions, and ensure correct dressing practices to maintain wheel performance. The data indicates a 10" diameter, 1" thickness, 1-1/4" arbor, 46 grit, brown aluminum oxide composition, and M hardness, which collectively influence cutting efficiency, heat generation, and wheel life in standard metalworking applications.
