The CGW 45048 grinding wheel is a 6-inch, 1/4-inch thick wheel designed for fast cutting of stainless steel and other ferrous metals. It features a WA24-R Type 27 profile with a 7/8-inch arbor and a 24-grit white aluminum oxide grain structure. This combination aims to provide a balance of aggressive material removal with a relatively smooth finish suitable for wheel-mounted tooling in metal fabrication and maintenance tasks.
Constructed to minimize contamination, the wheel’s design contains less than 0.01% iron, sulfur, or chlorine. That low level of impurities helps reduce rust and corrosion risk on treated surfaces, which can be important in applications where corrosion control is a concern. The wheel is specified with a hardness grade of S and a manufacturer-rated maximum operating speed of 10,200 RPM, aligning with typical high-speed grinding operations on metal workpieces.
This product is packaged as individual wheels with a box quantity of 25, making it suitable for work-in-progress stocking or multi-operator environments. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinding machine’s arbor size (7/8 inch) and ensure the Type 27 profile is appropriate for edge grinding or contour work. Proper mounting and guard clearance should be observed to maintain safe operation and achieve consistent material removal.
