CGW 38052 14" X 2" X 1-1/2" T1 A-36M 36-Grit Brown Aluminum Oxide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38052 bench and pedestal grinding wheel is a general-purpose abrasive tool designed for effective stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping on metal surfaces. This wheel features a 14" diameter, 2" width, and 1-1/2" arbor, making it compatible with many standard bench and pedestal grinders used in maintenance and metalworking environments. The wheel is manufactured with brown aluminum oxide grain, which is a common choice for robust metal-working applications, especially for fast material removal and shaping of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

With a Type 1 configuration and an abrasive grade of O (hardness), the wheel is engineered for stable performance under typical grinding conditions. The specification of 36 grit indicates a relatively coarse surface finish, suitable for rapid material removal and initial shaping. The stated RPM of 1910 reflects the operating speed baseline for this wheel’s construction, highlighting the need to verify grinder motor speed and safeguard against exceeding the wheel’s maximum RPM. This product is packed as a single unit and is intended for use in general-purpose grinding tasks, both in bench setups and pedestal machines commonly found in shop floors and facility maintenance environments.

Considerations for use include ensuring proper wheel mounting, wheel guards, and appropriate personal protective equipment during grinding operations. Material compatibility and grinding parameters should be matched to the metal being worked to avoid glazing or loading and to achieve consistent results. The 14" x 2" x 1-1/2" dimensions, along with a 1-1/2" arbor, define the physical fit for compatible machines and mounting hardware. This data helps buyers confirm compatibility with their grinders and plan for replacement cycles in maintenance workflows.
