The CGW 70144 8S Silicon Carbide Fine Convolute Wheel is designed for precision finishing on hard materials where a consistent, flat work surface is essential. This wheel uses silicon carbide abrasive grains to deliver fine, controlled material removal while helping to minimize heat buildup and loading during use. Its convolute construction is intended to provide a long service life by distributing wear along the surface, maintaining flatness and dimensional stability throughout grinding tasks.
The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter, 1 inch thick, and fits a 3-inch arbor, with a grain designation of 8 - Fine. The 4500 RPM rating indicates the maximum operating speed suitable for compatible equipment and safe performance under typical finishing applications. These features collectively support applications that require a fine surface finish on metals or other compatible substrates, particularly when edge integrity and surface flatness are priorities. Handling considerations include adhering to appropriate wheel mounting practices and matching the wheel speed to the equipment’s rated RPM to avoid over-speed conditions.
This product is compatible with standard grinding machines designed for 8-inch wheels with a 3-inch arbor. For optimal results, verify that the equipment’s spindle size, mounting options, and speed rating align with the wheel specifications before installation. Regular inspection for cracks or glazing is advised to determine replacement timing and maintain consistent finishing performance.
