The CGW 38036 is a 12" x 1" x 1-1/4" bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping. Built for routine grinding tasks, this wheel uses brown aluminum oxide grain (A-24Q) to deliver robust performance across a variety of metals commonly encountered in maintenance and fabrication settings. Its A-24Q designation indicates a widely used, general-purpose grain with a balance of cut rate and life, suitable for everyday grinding needs.
Construction specifics visible in the product data include a 12" diameter, 1" thickness, and 1-1/4" arbor/shank size, with a Type 1 configuration and a hardness grade of Q. The wheel is rated for operating speeds up to 2220 RPM, making it compatible with standard bench and pedestal grinders that are designed to accommodate this size and speed range. Packaging is listed as single-use per wheel, aligning with typical replacement cycles for shop maintenance tools.
When selecting this wheel, consider the material to be ground, the required finish, and the grinder’s arbor size and RPM rating to ensure proper fit and performance. The 1-1/4" arbor is a common fit for many bench and pedestal machines, but verifying the grinder’s spindle dimensions and speed capability helps avoid overspeed or mounting issues. This wheel is intended for general-purpose use with brown aluminum oxide, a versatile abrasive suitable for many ferrous and non-ferrous metals, depending on the grinding task at hand.
