The CGW 34303 is a 7-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal while delivering a precise finish and controlled size. It uses AZ-46I premium blue aluminum oxide grain, which is formulated to balance sharpness and durability, making it well-suited for applications that require fast material removal with a cooler cutting action. The wheel’s 1/4-inch thickness and 1-1/4-inch arbor/shank size define its compatibility with compatible surface grinders and mounting configurations, enabling stable operation at higher RPMs (up to 3,760). The 46-grit size provides a balance between aggressive cutting and a finer finish, making it appropriate for grinding heat-sensitive materials such as alloy steels and mold steels, provided they fall within standard heat-treat ranges specified for high-speed grinding.
Chemistry and construction details matter because the premium AZ oxide grain is selected for durability and edge stability, which translates to consistent removal rates and extended wheel life under demanding grinding conditions. The feature set emphasizes fast yet controlled cutting, reducing heat buildup relative to some coarser grains, which is a consideration when working with heat-sensitive alloys. While this description does not specify packaging beyond the stated package configuration, the wheel is available in a package that lists as achox quantity of 10, aligning procurement with batch clearance and stocking practices common to facility maintenance programs.
When selecting this wheel, ensure your grinder is compatible with a 7-inch wheel, 1/4-inch thickness, and 1-1/4-inch arbor. Check that high-speed grinding requirements and the hardness grade (I) align with your material hardness and desired finish. For best results, mount per manufacturer guidelines, confirm appropriate guards and wheel flanges, and follow standard safety practices during surface grinding operations.
