CGW 34060 is a large-diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel features a 20-inch diameter, 4-inch thickness, and a 10-inch arbor/shank size, making it suitable for dedicated surface grinding operations where substantial material removal is needed while maintaining tight dimensional control. The wheel is manufactured with a white aluminum oxide grain, designated 83A, and a 46-grit size. The T7 83A-46G designation indicates a vitrified bond and a specific hardness and grade combination intended to balance cut rate and wheel life for certain materials. The G letter in the grade signals a particular hardness level appropriate for the wheel’s size and intended applications. Users should select this wheel when light to moderate stock removal is desired on heat-sensitive steels and when cutting action on all surfaces needs to be coordinated with size and finish requirements.
When selecting a grinding wheel of this size and grain, it matters that the grain type and bond are matched to the workpiece. White aluminum oxide grains are commonly chosen for their sharpness and fracture resistance on ferrous and some nonferrous alloys, and the 46-grit size is suited for achieving a balance between material removal and surface finish. The combination of 20" diameter, 4" thickness, and a 10" arbor translates to compatibility with larger surface grinders configured for this wheel shape and size, and it supports the ability to remove material efficiently while aiming for a consistent finish across the workpiece. Practical considerations include ensuring proper wheel mounting, balancing, and safe tool rotation according to the machine’s specifications.
This product is packaged as a single wheel (each) for facility maintenance use. Proper maintenance such as inspection for cracks, secure mounting, and adherence to machine RPM limits—1623 RPM for this wheel—is essential to maintain performance and safety during grinding operations.
