The CGW 49544 grinding wheel is a 4-1/2 inch disc designed for versatile metalworking applications. This Type 27 ZA36 wheel features a 36-grit zirconia premium grain blend that promotes faster material removal while helping to manage heat generation during grinding. The zirconia formulation and bonded construction are chosen to support cooler operation, which can help reduce discoloration or warping of stainless steel and other challenging metals. Its design aims to provide a smoother, quieter grinding experience that can contribute to lower operator fatigue in demanding shop environments.
The wheel is rated for use on stainless steel, steel, hard face, titanium, inconel, and aluminum, making it suitable for mixed-material work across fabrication, maintenance, and repair tasks. It is engineered with a 5/8-11 arbor to fit common right-angle grinders, and the RPM rating of 13,300 ensures it remains stable at typical high-speed operation. This product is supplied in packaging of ten units per box, with each wheel intended for individual use or as part of a stocked maintenance program. Practically, users should observe standard safety practices for grinding on ferrous and nonferrous metals, including appropriate PPE and guards, while selecting wheel hardness and grain size to balance material removal with surface finish goals.
