CGW 38580 6" X 1" X 1" T1 GC-120I 120-Grit Green Silicon Carbide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38580 bench and pedestal grinding wheel is designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks on non-ferrous metals and hard materials. This 6" diameter wheel uses green silicon carbide to provide abrasive action necessary for precise material removal on carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome components, while maintaining a consistent grinding performance for routine maintenance and fabrication work.

Constructed as a type 1 wheel with a 1" thickness and a 1" arbor/shank, it runs at up to 4456 RPM, making it suitable for small to mid-size grinding machines commonly found in shop and maintenance environments. The GC-120I specification denotes its 120-grit size, which balances material removal rate with surface finish quality, appropriate for deburring, shaping, or sharpening tasks where controlled stock removal is required. While the wheel’s exact composition details beyond green silicon carbide and the stated grit are not provided, this combination is typically favored for non-ferrous metals and hard materials, contributing to efficient grinding with reduced loading on the wheel face.

For practical use, ensure proper mounting of the wheel on compatible bench or pedestal grinders that accept a 1" arbor, and verify that RPM ratings of your equipment align with the wheel’s 4456 RPM maximum. The package is listed as a single wheel per package, facilitating straightforward stocking. Users should follow standard grinding safety practices, including securing the workpiece, guarding, and using appropriate PPE, to maximize performance and minimize wheel wear or breakage during setup and operation.
