CGW 38508 is a 6 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch T1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping across a range of materials. This wheel uses green silicon carbide abrasive (GC) with a grit size of 80 and a hardness rating of I, suited for non-ferrous metals and harder substrates such as carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome when applicable to grinding tasks. The 6" diameter and 1" thickness yield a compact wheel suitable for smaller grinders and pedestal machines, with an arbor/shank compatibility of 1" to fit standard machines and adaptors used in typical shop setups. The wheel’s specification implies a moderate cutting action with the balance of material removal and surface finish appropriate for precision work on small parts or delicate profiles when using low-to-medium RPM operation.
Verifying the technical details matters because the wheel’s designated grain, size, and hardness influence both performance and safety. Green silicon carbide is chosen for its hardness and cone of action on non-ferrous materials and certain harder substrates; using a wheel outside its intended material range or RPM can impact finish quality and wheel integrity. This particular CGW wheel is packaged as a single unit, intended for use in general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks on bench and pedestal grinders. When selecting this wheel, confirm your machine’s arbor size and speed rating to ensure compatibility and safe operation within recommended RPM.
Users should inspect wheels for cracks or damage before mounting, and adhere to machine guards and PPE appropriate for grinding tasks. The part number CGW38508 is kept exactly as provided to ensure accurate ordering and traceability across our facility-maintenance catalog.
