The CGW 38533 grinding wheel is a bench and pedestal wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks. It features a 12-inch diameter, 2-inch face width, and a 1-1/2-inch arbor, making it suitable for use on compatible grinding machines that accept these dimensions. The wheel is labeled as GC-100I with a 100-grit, green silicon carbide formulation, which is commonly selected for effective material removal and finishing on non-ferrous metals and hard materials. The I-grade hardness indicates a balance between cutting aggressiveness and wheel life, appropriate for routine grinding operations where precise control is important.
Constructed for practical industrial use, this wheel is specified with a 2220 RPM operating rating, which aligns with standard machine speeds for many bench and pedestal grinders in facility-maintenance settings. As with all grinding wheels, proper mounting and balance are essential to minimize vibration and ensure safe operation. The green silicon carbide composition is typically chosen for its performance on hard non-ferrous materials such as carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome, supporting tasks that require consistent material removal without excessive loading. The packaging indicates a single-wheel quantity, intended for one-off replacements or individual wheel use rather than bulk stocking.
When selecting this wheel, verify your grinder’s arbor size,RPM rating, and wheel dimensions to ensure compatibility and safe operation. Routine maintenance should include inspecting for cracks or wobble, proper mounting with the appropriate flanges, and following manufacturer guidelines for dressing and truing as needed. This wheel’s data aligns with common bench and pedestal grinding applications in facility-maintenance workflows, offering a straightforward option for moving between sharpening and shaping tasks on suitable non-ferrous and hard materials.
