CGW 38535 14" X 2" X 1-1/2" T1 GC-80I 80-Grit Green Silicon Carbide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38535 is a 14 inch by 2 inch by 1-1/2 inch bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping. Built for use on non-ferrous metals and a variety of tough materials, this wheel leverages green silicon carbide grain to deliver consistent material removal and a smooth finish on metals such as carbide, granite, ceramics, and chrome. Its Type 1 configuration and 80 grit rating position it for controlled material removal with a reasonable balance between aggressiveness and surface quality on bench or pedestal grinders.

Constructed to fit standard 14" grinding machines with a 1-1/2" arbor/shank, the wheel operates at up to 1910 RPM, which informs compatible grinder speed settings and safety considerations. The I hardness designation indicates a balance between cutting performance and wheel life suitable for medium-duty applications. As with all grinding wheels, matching the wheel’s speed, material, and application to the grinder and workpiece is essential for predictable performance and safety. This wheel is packaged per unit, simplifying installation into existing shop setups.

Typical use scenarios include deburring and shaping of non-ferrous metals, as well as workpieces comprised of carbide, granite, ceramic, or chrome where a green silicon carbide wheel is appropriate for controlled stock removal. When selecting this wheel, ensure the grinder’s arbor size and RPM align with the product specifications to maintain balance and avoid excessive vibration or wheel wear. Regular inspection for cracks or glazing and proper mounting with a flange and spindle nut will help maintain performance and safety over its service life.
