CGW 49683 2-5/16" X 5/32" X 3/8" A60 Type 27 60-Grit Aluminum Oxide Mini Grinding Wheel

The CGW 49683 mini grinding wheel is designed for material removal on small-scale grinding tasks where precision and control are essential. This wheel features aluminum oxide grain, selected for its balance of aggressiveness and durability when grinding common metals. With a diameter of 2-5/16 inches, a thickness of 5/32 inch, and a 3/8 inch arbor, it is suited for compact grinders and applications requiring a finer grit and shape appropriate for Type 27 depressed-center wheels. The 60-grit size provides a middle ground between rapid material removal and surface finish detail, making it adaptable for prep work, deburring, and shaping of small parts.

Constructed to meet typical industrial grinding needs, this wheel is labeled with a hardness grade T, indicating a balance between wheel integrity and cutting action under normal loading. The wheel is rated up to 20,000 RPM, which should be matched to compatible tooling to ensure safe operation and to prevent wheel damage or wheel-retaining failures during use. Each wheel is packaged individually, and CGW lists a box quantity of 25 for stocking and inventory planning, which is helpful for maintenance cycles in shop environments where multiple grinders or rapid changeovers are common.

When selecting this wheel, verify the grinding apparatus accepts a 3/8" arbor and Type 27 depressed-center form. Consider the material and finish needs of your project, as aluminum oxide wheels perform best on ferrous metals and some nonferrous metals. Proper dust control, wheel guards, and personal protective equipment should be used in line with standard shop practices to maximize safety and efficiency during grinding operations.
