The CGW 38049 is a bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks in maintenance and fabrication environments. It features a brown aluminum oxide grain, which is a common, versatile abrasive suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it a practical choice for everyday grinding needs.
The wheel measures 12 inches in diameter with a 2-inch width and a 1-1/2 inch arbor, configured as a Type 1 wheel with a 60 grit size and an M-grade (medium hardness). This combination supports efficient material removal while maintaining control over heat generation and wheel life on typical workshop workloads. A 2220 RPM rating indicates the spindle speed at which the wheel is designed to operate safely and effectively when mounted on compatible grinding machines.
When selecting a wheel, users should consider the workpiece material, desired finish, and machine speed to ensure compatibility with the wheel’s dimensions and RPM. The 12 x 2 x 1-1/2 inch package is identified as a single wheel per package, suitable for shop-wide replacement or stocking. As with all grinding wheels, proper mounting, balancing, and safety practices are essential to achieve predictable results and maintain operator safety during grinding operations.
