CGW 34004 18" X 2" X 8" T7 83A-46H 46-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

The CGW 34004 is an 18-inch by 2-inch by 8-inch surface grinding wheel engineered for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. Using a white aluminum oxide grain, this wheel is designed to deliver consistent cutting action on a range of materials, including heat-sensitive steels, while still offering the versatility needed for general-purpose grinding tasks. The wheel’s Type 7** designation indicates it is intended for peripheral or face grinding on rotary grinders, helping achieve controlled material removal and dimensional accuracy.

Constructed to a grain specification of 83A with a 46-grit texture, the wheel balances aggressiveness with the ability to produce a finer surface finish. The H hardness rating provides a robust wheel capable of maintaining form under typical grinding loads, while the 18" diameter, 2" face thickness, and 8" arbor size define its compatibility with suitable grinding machines. A rotation speed of 1485 RPM is specified for safe operation with compatible equipment, ensuring the wheel is used within its designed operating window to avoid wheel and workpiece damage.

Ideal for applications requiring light to moderate stock removal on surfaces and the need to cut through material efficiently without excessive heat buildup, this CGW wheel supports uses where easy cutting action is advantageous. When selecting accessories or performing maintenance, verify that your grinder accepts an 8" arbor and that mounting uses correct flanges and a compatible hub to preserve wheel balance and surface integrity. This wheel is packaged per the supplier’s standard, with multiple pieces typically included per order to support workflow of heavier grinding tasks.
