CGW 34055 is a heavy-duty surface grinding wheel designed for fast stock removal with a precise finish on metal components. This wheel features 20 inch diameter and 4 inch thickness, with an arbor/shank size of 10 inches, type 7 designation, and a 46 grit, 91AB premium blue aluminum oxide grain. The premium grain and bond formulation are chosen to balance sharpness and durability, offering efficient cutting action while maintaining control over the grinding process. The wheel is rated for high-speed grinding applications and is noted for its cool-cutting behavior, which helps minimize heat buildup when working with alloys and heat-sensitive grades of steel such as mold steels and high-speed steels under 58 RC. In practice, this means a more consistent cut with reduced thermal distortion when used correctly on suitable machines.
The combination of AZ premium grain and durable bond helps achieve a reliable balance between aggressive material removal and the ability to sustain edge life, which can be advantageous in environments requiring consistent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. This product is intended for use in facility maintenance and metalworking operations where precise grinding of harder steels is needed, especially in applications that demand a controlled finish with a relatively fine 46-grit size. For best results, ensure correct mounting and RPM compatibility with your grinding machine, and follow standard wheel safety practices during operation.
Compatibility and packaging details specify a single-wheel package in the listed size, with an overall emphasis on suitability for heavy stock removal and precise finishing tasks common in tool, mold, and general metalworking contexts. Maintenance considerations include verifying wheel condition prior to mounting and adhering to manufacturer guidelines for mounting hardware and speed ratings to preserve wheel integrity during use.
