CGW 34203 5" X 1-3/4" X 1-1/4" T11 AS3-46I 46-Grit Ceramic Tool & Cutting Wheel

The CGW 34203 ceramic tool and cutting wheel is designed for fast metal removal with improved life and reduced dressing frequency. This 5-inch diameter wheel is engineered with a 46-grit AS3 ceramic grain and a T11 grade bond, balancing aggressive material removal with stability in grinding operations. The wheel’s submicron crystal structure continually fractures to form sharp grinding points, helping sustain cutting efficiency while minimizing the need for frequent dressing when grinding harder metals.

This wheel features a 1-3/4 inch thickness and a 1-1/4 inch arbor size, suited for compatible 5-inch grinders and mounting setups that accept these dimensions. The AS3 ceramic grain delivers a sharp cutting action on tougher materials, such as those at the upper end of the Rockwell scale, which can translate to meaningful productivity gains in metalwork and fabrication environments when paired with appropriate cooling and feed rates. Because ceramic wheels can wear differently than traditional aluminum-oxide types, users should monitor dressing intervals and wear patterns to maintain consistent performance and surface finish.

Designed for general-purpose metal grinding tasks, this wheel supports applications that require rapid material removal and a stable grinding process on harder metals. Verify that your equipment’s spindle and guard configurations accommodate a 5-inch wheel with a 1-1/4 inch arbor and the 1-3/4 inch thickness, and ensure proper mounting and safety practices are followed. Packaged as individual items with a box quantity of 10, the wheel is ready for inventory against frequent project demands while allowing for organized restocking and tool maintenance planning.
