Cgw 54285 Ceramic Grinding Wheel T27 5x.045x7/8 25/BX

Product Description

The CGW 54285 is a Type 27 ceramic abrasive grinding wheel designed for fast, aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel applications. Measuring 5 inches in diameter by 0.045 inches thick with a 7/8-inch arbor bore, this wheel uses a sharp ceramic grain combined with an advanced bonding system engineered for long service life and a consistently fast cut rate. Sold in a box of 25 wheels, the 54285 is suited for angle grinder use in fabrication, welding prep, and metal cutting environments where throughput and wheel longevity are both priorities for the technician or tradesperson on the job.

This wheel is appropriate for use on mild steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel. The Type 27 depressed-center profile allows flat or slightly angled cutting passes without the hub contacting the workpiece. The ceramic grain construction delivers a noticeably faster cutting rate compared to conventional aluminum oxide cut-off wheels, reducing the number of wheel changes per shift and lowering overall labor time on repetitive cutting tasks. Performance is maximized on higher-horsepower angle grinders and stationary cut-off equipment.

Key Features

• Ceramic grain for high-speed, aggressive cutting action on steel and stainless steel
• Advanced bonding system extends wheel life and maintains consistent cut rate throughout use
• Type 27 depressed-center profile for flat and angled cutting passes
• 0.045-inch thin kerf reduces material loss and decreases cutting resistance
• Fewer wheel changes per shift due to extended service life versus conventional abrasive wheels
• Sold 25 wheels per box for shop or crew supply needs

Compatibility

Designed for use on angle grinders and cut-off machines accepting a 7/8-inch arbor, rated for 5-inch diameter Type 27 wheels operating at compatible RPM ratings. Suitable for cutting mild steel and stainless steel stock.

Installation Notes

Wheel mounting and use should be performed by personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety per ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before each use and never mount a damaged wheel. Always use the appropriate guard and personal protective equipment including eye and face protection when operating grinding equipment.
