CGW 49548 7" X 5/32" X 5/8"-11 ZA36 Type 27 36-Grit Zirconia Green Grinding Wheel

The CGW 49548 grinding wheel is a 7-inch, Type 27, zirconia‑grain wheel designed for aggressive material removal with a focus on cooler operation. It features 36 grit zirconia premium grain, which is engineered to deliver faster metal removal compared with standard aluminum oxide wheels, while helping minimize heat buildup that can affect workpiece integrity. The wheel is designed to be compatible with a range of metals and alloys, including stainless steel, steel, hard face, titanium, inconel, and aluminum, making it a versatile choice for mixed-material grinding tasks.

Constructed with a zirconia grain and a tailored bond system, this wheel aims to provide controlled cutting action and reduced wheel loading, contributing to smoother, quieter operation and less operator fatigue. The 5/32-inch thickness paired with a 5/8-11 arbor size aligns with common right-angle grinder applications, enabling straightforward installation on compatible machines. The 8500 RPM rating indicates an appropriate speed range for performing high‑duty grinding while maintaining balance and performance. Each package includes ten wheels, which supports multiple work shifts or ongoing project needs without frequent repackaging.

In practical terms, this wheel is suitable for applications requiring efficient material removal on stainless steel and other tough substrates, with attention to minimizing discoloration or warping on stainless steel components. When selecting grinding wheels for stainless or titanium, operators should verify compatibility with the grinder’s RPM and the workpiece’s material characteristics, and follow proper dressing and mounting procedures to maintain performance and safety.
