CGW 58045 14" X 2" X 5" T5 PA-60K 60-Grit Pink Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

The CGW 58045 is a 14 inch by 2 inch by 5 inch T5 PA-60K pink aluminum oxide surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precision finish. This wheel uses PA pink aluminum oxide grain, which is known for its balance of wear resistance and cut rate on steel substrates. The wheel is rated at 60 grit and a K hardness designation, indicating a relatively hard bond suitable for stable performance under moderate to higher feed rates. With an arbor size of 5 inches, it is configured for compatible surface grinders that accept this mounting format, and it runs at up to 1910 RPM as specified for this wheel. The combination of grain type, grit, and hardness influences how aggressively material is removed and how well heat is managed during grinding, which can be important when working with tool steel and harder alloys.

When selecting this wheel, consider its PA-60K construction for applications requiring steady cutting action and a cooler performance compared with some alternatives, making it suitable for heat-sensitive workpieces where excessive heat can cause undesirable distortion or workpiece changes. The pink aluminum oxide formulation is typically favored for fast, controlled grinding on metal substrates, including tool steels, while offering durability at light to moderate feed rates. As with all grinding wheels, proper mounting, guard clearance, and following manufacturer guidelines are essential for safe operation and maximizing wheel life. The wheel is packaged as a single item per box, with the CGW58045 part number remaining the key identifier for ordering and inventory purposes.
