CGW 34313 is a 7 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. The wheel features a 1/4 inch thickness and a 1-1/4 inch arbor/shank, making it compatible with standard 7" surface grinders and compatible mounting configurations. It uses AZ-80K premium blue aluminum oxide grain, which is formulated to balance sharpness and durability for efficient material removal while minimizing heat generation during grinding. The K-grade hardness indicates a fairly rigid wheel structure, which helps maintain wheel form and cutting efficiency under typical shop grinding conditions.
The combination of premium grain and bond technology is intended to deliver fast, cool cutting, which is particularly advantageous when working with heat-sensitive alloys, mold steels, and high-speed steels (up to 58 RC). This performance helps reduce dwell time and potential heat-related workpiece distortion during finishing or sizing passes. The wheel is aimed at applications requiring both aggressive material removal and a controlled, precise finish, aligning with common needs in facility maintenance and metalworking tasks.
Practical considerations include its 80 grit size, which supports a balance between material removal rate and surface finish quality. The wheel is packaged as individual units, with a box quantity of 10 per shipment, suitable for shop inventories and recurring maintenance tasks. When selecting for a project, verify compatibility with your grinder’s RPM capabilities (this wheel’s rated RPM is 3,760) and ensure the mounting system matches the 1-1/4" arbor. Maintaining appropriate wheel speed, dressing as needed, and using proper safety equipment will support consistent performance and wheel life.
