CGW 34043 20" X 3" X 10" T7 AZ-46I 60-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW 34043 20" x 3" x 10" T7 AZ-46I 60-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel features AZ Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide grain, which is engineered to provide both sharpness and durability, making it well-suited for demanding grinding tasks. The T7 wheel type and 60-grit size indicate a balance between material removal rate and achievable surface quality, while the I hardness rating helps determine the wheel’s performance under load. The wheel’s 20" diameter, 3" thickness, and 10" arbor/shank size define its compatibility with larger surface grinders and appropriate mounting requirements, and the 1623 RPM specification guides safe operation at the intended speed. The combination of premium grain and bond technology is described as offering fast, cool cutting characteristics, which can be beneficial for heat-sensitive materials such as alloy steels and certain mold steels.

In practice, this wheel is positioned for precision surface grinding applications where both speed and control are important, enabling efficient material removal without excessive heat buildup when used within its rated parameters. The 2-count packaging (Package Size: Each, Box Quantity: 2) supports stocking on shop floors or in maintenance supply inventories where bulk procurement is common. When selecting this wheel, ensure your grinder and spindle are compatible with a 20" wheel and the specified arbor size, and follow standard safety and grinding guidelines to maintain performance and wheel life.
