The CGW 70145 Silicon Carbide Fine Convolute Wheel is a premium abrasive wheel designed for precision surface finishing on flat and contoured workpieces. With an 8-inch diameter, 1-inch face thickness, and a 3-inch arbor/shank size, this wheel is suited for applications that require a fine grits finish while maintaining dimensional stability during use. The 9S grade indicates a fine hardness level appropriate for refined material removal and a smoother final surface. The wheel is built to handle prolonged operation with sharp-edged materials, helping maintain a consistent workpiece profile without changing its shape or dimensions.
Constructed with silicon carbide abrasive grain, the wheel combines hardness and toughness to resist loading and overheating in demanding grinding tasks. This reduces glaze and clogging when working with nonferrous metals, ceramics, or similar substrates where a fine finish is critical. The convolute wheel design provides a continuous abrasive surface that preserves surface quality over extended cycles, making it suitable for production environments where finish quality and cycle time matter. Operators should respect the tool’s RPM rating of up to 4500 to ensure safe operation and to prevent wheel failure.
Typical use cases include achieving fine surface finishes on components with tight tolerances, deburring sharp edges without altering geometry, and preparing surfaces for further processing. Compatibility notes: intended for wheels with an 8" diameter, 1" face, and 3" arbor/shank size as specified; confirm compatible spindle and guard clearance on your equipment before mounting. Proper dressing and alignment are recommended to maximize performance and reduce uneven wear. This product is sold as an individual wheel and requires appropriate mounting hardware and safety precautions per industrial grinding best practices.
