CGW 34023 20" X 2" X 8" T7 83A-60J 60-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW 34023 20" x 2" x 8" T7 83A-60J 60-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for precise stock removal and finishing on metal surfaces. This wheel leverages white aluminum oxide grain (83A) and a Type 7 (flared cup) configuration to provide controlled cutting action across a range of materials. With a 60-grit size and a J hardness grade, it is intended for light to moderate stock removal while maintaining a consistent surface finish, making it suitable for applications where heat generation must be managed on steels and other high-speed grades.

Constructed with a 20" diameter, 2" thickness, and an 8" arbor/shaft size, this wheel is designed for larger surface-grinding operations typical in industrial maintenance and metalworking facilities. The Type 7 shape supports efficient material removal on flat or contoured surfaces while maintaining rigidity and stability during high-load grinding. The grain and bond are specified to work together to balance cutting action with controlled wear, which is important for achieving predictable finish quality and wheel life across operations that require repeatable results.

Practical use considerations include selecting this wheel when easy cutting action is needed on all surfaces and when grinding heat-sensitive steels or easy-to-grind high-speed steels. The 60-grit formulation favors a smoother finish over very coarse grinding, which can help minimize workpiece thermal distortion. Packaging indicates the wheel is sold as an individual item within a two-pack, aligning with common maintenance or stocking practices in facility and shop environments. Always verify compatibility with your grinder spindle size and mounting hardware, and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for mounting, RPM limits, and dressing to maintain proper wheel performance.
