CGW 38532 12" X 2" X 1-1/2" T1 GC-80I 80-Grit Green Silicon Carbide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38532 12" x 2" x 1-1/2" T1 GC-80I 80-Grit Green Silicon Carbide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel is designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping on non-ferrous metals and harder materials. This wheel uses green silicon carbide grain (GC) with an 80 grit size, suitable for precision material removal and finishing tasks on carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome when mounted on a bench or pedestal grinder. The wheel features a 12-inch diameter, 2-inch width, and a 1-1/2-inch arbor bore, with a Type 1 configuration and an I hardness rating, providing a balance of cutting action and wheel life for hobbyist and light-to-moderate industrial grinding work.

Constructed for fiercer stock removal while maintaining surface finish, the GC-80I wheel is intended for non-ferrous applications, helping users achieve consistent edge profiles and deburring performance. The 80-grit green silicon carbide composition is recognized for its ability to cut hard materials with controlled heat generation, which can reduce workpiece heat-affected zones in precision grinding tasks. When used on compatible grinders, this wheel should be installed and used in accordance with standard safety and wheel mounting practices, including appropriate guards and personal protective equipment.

This wheel is packaged as a single unit (One Each) for immediate use in bench or pedestal grinding setups. Ensure the specifications—12" diameter, 2" width, 1-1/2" arbor, Type 1, and I grade—match your grinder and application. Proper mounting, truing, and dressing (as required by your equipment and material) help maximize wheel performance and part quality, while adherence to manufacturer guidelines for RPM (2220) ensures safe operation within the grinder’s speed rating.
