The CGW 34245 is a 20 inch diameter, 3 inch thick ceramic surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with the capability to deliver a precise final finish. Built on a ceramic grain matrix, this wheel uses AS3 - Ceramic with a 46 grit size and a T7 type, offering sharp, durable grinding points as the wheel fractures submicron crystals during use. The result is efficient material removal with reduced dressing frequency, which helps maintain consistent performance over time on tough materials.
With a 46-grit ceramic formulation and a hardness rating listed as H, the wheel is oriented toward demanding grinding tasks such as finishing on hard alloys. Its design supports applications requiring grinding down to precise dimensions while managing heat and wear, aided by the submicron crystal structure that continually exposes fresh cutting edges as the wheel operates. The wheel is specified for a 10 inch arbor/shank interface, and its 1623 RPM rating aligns with typical metalworking automation standards for this size tool. The packaging is listed as an individual item, suitable for shops purchasing by the piece for maintenance or production needs.
When selecting this wheel, ensure compatibility with your grinder’s arbor size and RPM limits, and confirm that your material and setup benefit from a ceramic, high-precision surface grinding solution. Routine dressing and truing practices should be followed as part of standard wheel maintenance to preserve wheel shape and performance. The data provided focuses on wheel identity, construction, and core operating parameters that influence grinding behavior and lifecycle in metalworking environments.
