The CGW 38517 Green Silicon Carbide Bench and Pedestal Grinding Wheel provides dependable grinding performance for precision sharpening, surface finishing, and material removal applications. Measuring 8 inches in diameter by 1 inch thick with a 1-1/4-inch arbor hole, this Type 1 straight grinding wheel features an 80-grit green silicon carbide abrasive. Designed for use on compatible bench and pedestal grinders, it is particularly suited for grinding hard, brittle materials such as carbide tooling and certain nonferrous materials.
Featuring a GC 80I abrasive specification, the CGW 38517 combines sharp green silicon carbide grains with an 80-grit composition to support controlled material removal and consistent surface finishing. Green silicon carbide is known for its hardness and sharp cutting characteristics, making it suitable for applications where conventional aluminum oxide abrasives may be less effective. The Type 1 straight wheel configuration provides a stable grinding surface for sharpening cutting tools, refining edges, and performing precision grinding operations. Its 1-inch thickness offers a substantial working surface for routine toolroom and maintenance applications.
Ideal for machine shops, tool and die facilities, industrial maintenance departments, fabrication shops, and precision grinding operations, the CGW 38517 offers a practical solution for maintaining carbide tools and grinding compatible hard materials. Its 8-inch diameter, 80-grit abrasive, and green silicon carbide construction support controlled grinding and finishing tasks. Whether used for tool sharpening, edge refinement, or general bench grinding applications, this wheel provides consistent abrasive performance when installed on properly configured equipment and operated within the manufacturer's specified speed and safety requirements.
