The CGW 34951 is a 6 inch diameter, 1 inch thick, 4 inch arbor-sized grinding wheel designed for tool and cutter grinding applications. This GD-100I wheel features a 100-grit silicon carbide (GC) formulation, which provides a balance of cut rate and surface finish suitable for grinding hardened tooling and shaping precision cutters. The wheel’s 50 type designation indicates a specific wheel form and performance characteristic within CGW’s GD-100I family, aimed at efficient material removal while maintaining control during precision grinding tasks.
Constructed to operate on standard tool and cutter grinding equipment, the wheel relies on its green silicon carbide grain to produce consistent cutting action across formed and peripheral cutter profiles. The combination of its size (6" diameter, 1" thickness) and a 4" arbor/shank compatibility makes it compatible with common grinding spindles and attachments used in tool and die shops. The GD-100I grade implies a particular hardness and wear resistance appropriate for repeated grinding cycles, helping to maintain wheel shape and dimensional accuracy over time.
Practical use considerations include selecting the wheel shape based on the cutter geometry being ground: cup wheels for peripheral cutters and dish wheels for formed cutters. This wheel’s specifications are aligned with that guidance, offering predictable grinding behavior for standard tooling tasks. Packaging notes indicate the wheel is sold as an individual item, with box quantities commonly appearing as multiples of ten in supplier listings. For best results, ensure proper mounting, balanced operation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines for wheel compatibility and grinding parameters.
