The CGW 34048 is a heavy-duty surface grinding wheel designed for precise material removal and controlled finishing on compatible grinders. With a 20" diameter, 3" face width, and 8" arbor, this wheel is configured for larger, high-demand grinding operations where consistent stock removal and accurate final dimensions are essential. The wheel utilizes a 60-grit, white aluminum oxide abrasive, which is recognized for its balance of cutting efficiency and heat resistance, making it suitable for a range of steels that are quick to clog or deform under heat.
Constructed as a Type 7, this wheel is intended for surface grinding applications where a uniform, flat surface is required. The 83A bonding system and J hardness rating indicate a mid-range hardness that supports steady cutting action while maintaining the wheel’s form under load. RPM compatibility is listed at 1623, which should be matched to the grinder’s speed to ensure proper performance and safety. The wheel is packaged as a two-wheel set, allowing for ready replacement or concurrent use in dual-spindle or multi-wheel setups.
When selecting this wheel, consider workpiece material and heat sensitivity, as the combination of 60-grit and white aluminum oxide is favorable for light to moderate stock removal with a relatively smooth finish. Proper dressing and truing should be performed to maintain concentricity and surface finish quality. Ensure the grinding machine’s speed and flange compatibility align with the specified arbor size and RPM to avoid imbalance or vibration. This product is categorized for facility maintenance and is suitable for shops performing routine metalworking that requires dependable surface grinding capability.
