CGW 34233 14" X 1" X 5" T1 AS3-60J 60-Grit Ceramic Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW 34233 is a 14 inch diameter, 1 inch thick, 5 inch arbor size surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel uses AS3 ceramic grain and a 60 grit size, with a J hardness grade, to balance rapid metal removal with a controlled grinding action. The ceramic formulation promotes a submicron crystal structure that continually fractures to expose fresh cutting points, helping maintain sharpness and reduce dressing frequency during extended grinding sessions. The wheel is intended for applications where material removal rates are important and where a fine, consistent surface finish is required on harder metals.

In practical use, the AS3 ceramic grain is known for its ability to grind hard materials and maintain a consistent cut, which can translate to reduced process time and more predictable results on items that approach or exceed 50 Rockwell C in hardness. The 14" diameter and 5" arbor size specify compatible spindle and mounting requirements, while the 1" thickness provides a robust balance between rigidity and heat dissipation during heavy stock removal. Users should verify proper wheel mounting, balance, and appropriate grinding parameters for their specific machine and workpiece to optimize performance and safety. The package size indicates this item is sold as individual wheels with two wheels per package, aligning with production line or workshop needs.

This CGW wheel is suitable for general surface grinding tasks where ceramic grain is advantageous and where a 60‑grit, AS3 composition is appropriate for achieving a fast, yet controlled, material removal rate. Always ensure compliance with your equipment manufacturer recommendations for wheel size, RPM, and mounting procedures, and perform routine checks for wheel integrity before use.
