The CGW CGW34949 is a 6 inch diameter, 1 inch thick, 4 inch arbor size tool and cutter grinding wheel designed for precision grinding of peripheral cutters and formed cutters. This wheel uses GC- Silicon Carbide abrasive with a 60 grit, Grade I hardness, categorized as T50 type, offering a balance of cut rate and wheel life suitable for tool and cutter applications. Its configuration supports peripheral cutting tools, where wheel shape must align with the part geometry and accessibility to maximize contact and achieve accurate finishes.
The wheel’s construction and grain choice are selected to handle the demands of tool and cutter grinding, including maintaining a consistent edge shape on cutting tools. When paired with the correct grinder spindle and workholding, it helps produce clean, accurate surfaces on assorted cutter profiles. The 60-grit silicon carbide is a common choice for light to moderate stock removal and finishing passes, enabling controlled material removal without excessive heat buildup when used with appropriate feeds and speeds.
Typical use scenarios include sharpening or reprofiling industrial cutting tools where the tool’s geometry must be preserved. Users should verify compatibility with their grinding machine’s arbor size and safety guards, ensure proper mounting to a rigid spindle, and follow standard wheel mounting procedures to prevent runout or imbalance. The package information indicates a pack option of 10 wheels per box, with each wheel sold individually, which can impact stocking and replacement planning for maintenance operations.
