CGW 38163 7" X 1" X 1" T1 AZ-60K 60-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38163 bench and pedestal grinding wheel is a 7 inch diameter, 1 inch wide wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping on bench and pedestal grinders. Its AZ premium blue aluminum oxide grain is selected to balance sharpness with durability, making it well-suited for applications that require efficient material removal with controlled heat generation. The wheel is manufactured with a type 1 configuration and a hardness grade of K, providing a stable cutting action under typical grinding loads.

This wheel features a 60 grit size, which offers a balance between material removal rate and surface finish. Its cool-cutting characteristics help reduce heat buildup when grinding heat-sensitive materials, including alloy steels and mold steels, helping to minimize thermal distortion and workpiece hardness effects. The wheel’s construction is intended to deliver consistent performance across a range of general-purpose grinding tasks, making it a versatile choice for metalworking and maintenance environments.

Designed for compatibility with standard bench and pedestal grinding setups, the wheel uses a 1 inch arbor/shank size and is suitable for use in common grinding equipment capable of accommodating 7 inch wheels. Packaging is listed as a single piece per box, aligning with typical tool replacement needs. When selecting grinding wheels, verify grinder arbor size, RPM compatibility, and workpiece material to ensure appropriate performance and safety during operation.
