The CGW 38506 is a 6 inch bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping on non-ferrous metals and hard materials. This wheel features green silicon carbide grain (GC) with a 100 grit size, which provides a balance of material removal and finish quality for precision work on carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome, among others. The wheel is manufactured with a T1 hardness and an arbor size of 1 inch, making it compatible with standard bench and pedestal grinders that accept 1" shafts. Its 6" diameter and 3/4" thickness create a stable cutting surface suited for light to medium grinding tasks with controlled aggressiveness.
Construction details indicate a traditional straight-type wheel intended for general-purpose grinding. The I-grade hardness is appropriate for applications requiring a firm wheel with consistent performance under typical shop conditions, where controlled stock removal and edge refinement are desired. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinder’s RPM and mounting hardware, ensuring the machine can safely operate at the wheel’s rated speed of 4456 RPM and that the 1" arbor matches the grinder spindle. For best results, use appropriate PPE and follow standard grinding practice to minimize wheel wear and maintain surface finish quality.
Packaging indicates a single wheel per box, appropriate for replacing worn wheels on bench or pedestal grinders. Routine maintenance should include inspecting for cracks or glazing and dressing as needed to preserve cutting efficiency and wheel shape. This wheel’s compatibility with non-ferrous materials makes it suitable for shops performing precision shaping and deburring tasks on metals and hard composites where silicone carbide’s abrasive properties deliver consistent performance.
