CGW 38046 12" X 2" X 1-1/2" T1 A-24Q 24-Grit Brown Aluminum Oxide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38046 bench and pedestal grinding wheel is a 12 inch diameter, 2 inch wide, 1-1/2 inch arbor grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks in facility maintenance environments. This wheel uses brown aluminum oxide grain (A-24Q) with a 24 grit designation and a Q grade hardness, which supports robust material removal while maintaining control on a variety of workpieces. Its general purpose grain is well-suited for heavy-duty applications, making it a versatile choice for shop floors that handle metal fabrication, maintenance, and fabrication-ready tasks.

Constructed for bench and pedestal grinders, the wheel’s specifications place it in the common configuration family for routine grinding work. The 12" diameter provides a wide contact surface for steady material removal, while the 2" width adds stability during grinding passes. The 1-1/2" arbor/shank size is compatible with many standard mounting setups for bench and pedestal machines, helping ensure straightforward installation and secure operation. As with all grinding wheels, maintaining proper mounting, wheel guards, and dresser use is essential for safe, effective grinding performance.

This wheel is packaged as a single-quantity item, suitable for replacement in shops performing general maintenance, tools and die work, or fabrication tasks where aluminum oxide wheels are appropriate for dulling, sharpening, or shaping metal components. When selecting a wheel, verify your grinder’s RPM rating (the wheel is rated at 2220 RPM) and ensure compatibility with your machine’s arbor size and mounting style. Regular inspection for cracks or glazing and proper dresser usage will help sustain consistent performance and prolong wheel life.
