The CGW 34049 surface grinding wheel is designed for heavy stock removal with the capability to achieve a precise finish and size. This wheel is built with black silicon carbide abrasive, identified by the 72C grain designation, suitable for non-ferrous metals and hard materials such as carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome. Its 20" diameter, 3" thickness, and 10" arbor/shank size establish compatibility with larger horizontal or vertical grinding setups used in facility maintenance and metal fabrication environments. The T7 grade and I hardness indicate a balance between cut rate and wheel life for demanding grinding tasks, while the 46- grit specification supports a coarse to semi-fine finish depending on grinding parameters.
Practically, this wheel is intended for precision surface finishing where dimension control is critical, enabling aggressive material removal without sacrificing contour accuracy. Operators should pay attention to wheel RPM compatibility, indicated at 1623 RPM, to ensure safe operation within the grinder’s speed range. The package is provided as two wheels per box, labeled for easy stocking and replacement planning in maintenance shops. Users should verify machine compatibility with the 20" x 3" x 10" dimensions and ensure appropriate mounting hardware and guards are in place before use.
In summary, CGW34049 is a large-diameter, high-strength silicon carbide surface grinding wheel suited for non-ferrous metals and hard materials, offering robust removal with a controlled finish. Verify machine spindle compatibility, appropriate guarding, and correct arbor size to ensure safe and effective operation in facility-maintenance grinding tasks.
