The CGW 34114 is an 8 inch diameter, 1/4 inch thick ceramic surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. Built around a ceramic AS3 grain structure, this wheel maintains a sharp grinding point through a submicron crystal fracture process, helping to sustain effective material removal while reducing the frequency of dressing tasks. The wheel is designated as Type 1 with a 60 grit finish and a J hardness grade, suitable for applications requiring consistent, controlled material removal on tough metals. Its 1-1/4 inch arbor/shank size accommodates common mounting configurations for surface grinding equipment, and its rated RPM of 3600 aligns with standard high-speed grinding operations.
The wheel’s ceramic composition and grain structure are chosen to optimize performance on harder materials, including those around 50 Rockwell C, delivering a balance between aggressive cutting and the ability to produce a fine surface finish. This makes it appropriate for users who need a reliable wheel for significant material removal alongside a precise end feel on the workpiece. When selecting this wheel, consider the balance between grit size, wheel hardness, and backing stability to achieve the desired surface quality and dimensional control. Typical maintenance involves checking for glazing or loading and ensuring proper dressing to maintain peak cutting efficiency.
Packaging indicates a standard package size of Each with Box Quantity of 10, which is useful for stocking and replacement planning in workshop environments. Proper mounting and flange compatibility should be confirmed on compatible grinding machines to ensure safe operation and to maintain wheel integrity during high-speed use.
