The CGW 35288 is a feed-regulating wheel designed for use with grinding and finishing operations that require consistent material removal and stable feed control. This wheel features a 12" diameter, 6" face width, and a 5" arbor/shank, with an 80 grit designation, appropriate for abrasive applications where controlled aggressiveness is desired. The construction uses brown aluminum oxide bonded to a rubber substrate, delivering a balance of abrasive performance and compliant wheel behavior suitable for certain grinding setups.
Manufacturing notes indicate an isostatic bonding process to ensure uniform gripping and to eliminate common defects such as hard spots and voids that can affect wheel performance. The product is offered in multiple rubber bond variants, including natural rubber and calendered rubber, which may influence suppleness and heat dissipation characteristics during operation. This particular specification identifies the wheel as a 12" x 6" x 5" with a type 7 profile and 80 grit, a configuration commonly used for cylindrical or surface-grinding tasks where a stable, consistent grip on the workpiece is essential.
Practical considerations include confirming compatibility with your grinder spindle size and mounting method, ensuring the arbor/shank matches the machine’s collet or arbor system, and verifying that wheel hardness and grit align with the material being processed. Package sizing indicates a single-wheel purchase per unit, suitable for facilities performing scheduled wheel replacements. While any qualitative advantages or brand claims are not extrapolated beyond the documented features, the isostatic manufacturing approach and the specified abrasive composition are intended to contribute to predictable grinding behavior and reduced risk of defects during operation.
