The CGW 38509 Green Silicon Carbide bench and pedestal grinding wheel is designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping when working with non-ferrous metals such as carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome. This wheel features a 6-inch diameter, 1-inch thickness, and a 1-inch arbor/shank size, making it compatible with standard bench grinders and pedestal machines. The wheel uses GC-rated green silicon carbide abrasive and is designated with a 100-grit finish, which provides a balanced level of material removal and surface finish suitable for precise shaping tasks.
Constructed to perform at typical grinding RPMs for its size, the wheel’s Type 1 configuration is intended for face grinding on a flat surface, contributing to consistent contact and controlled stock removal. The I hardness grade indicates a relatively firm wheel, which helps maintain form and reduces glazing during use. As with all grinding wheels, proper mounting, alignment, and flange selection are important to ensure safe operation and effective grinding results. No additional packaging details are provided, but the specification implies a single-wheel package suitable for replacement on compatible tooling.
This wheel is positioned for general maintenance and workshop use where non-ferrous material grinding is common. When selecting, verify your grinder spindle diameter and compatible mounting hardware, confirm that a 6" wheel fits your machine’s wheel guard and clearance, and ensure the appropriate safety practices are followed during operation. The product data confirms size (6" x 1" x 1"), abrasive type (GC-green silicon carbide), grit (100), and Type 1 configuration, which are the critical factors for matching to your project needs and equipment.
