CGW 34240 is a 14-inch diameter, 1-1/2-inch thick, 5-inch arbor ceramic surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel uses AS3 ceramic grain and is labeled with a grit of 60 and a hardness/grade of I, reflecting its balance of aggressive cut and rigidity suitable for sustained grinding tasks. The submicron crystal structure continually fractures to generate fresh, sharp grinding points, supporting consistent material removal and a finer edge through repeated passes.
Documented construction features include a T1 wheel profile and a 60-grit ceramic composition, which collectively contribute to fast metal removal while reducing dressing frequency. Intended for applications requiring grinding of hard materials, the wheel is capable of addressing surfaces with Rockwell C hardness values around 50 and above, making it appropriate for tougher workpieces where a single wheel must deliver durability and repeatable finishes. Practical use considerations include maintaining proper dressing schedules and ensuring the wheel is mounted on compatible grinders that accept a 5" arbor.
In terms of compatibility and handling, the product is specified with a 14" diameter, 1-1/2" thickness, and a 5" arbor/shank size, with packaging noted as “Each” in a two-pack per box arrangement. Operators should verify that their grinding machine supports these dimensions and RPM specifications (1910 RPM) to achieve safe, consistent results. For best results, select grinding parameters aligned with ceramic grain behavior, and follow standard safety practices for wheel dressing, mounting, and wheel guards to maintain performance and operator safety.
