The CGW 34315 is a 7-inch surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with the capability to produce a precise finish and meet exact size requirements. It uses AZ-premium blue aluminum oxide grain, chosen for a balance of sharpness and durability, which supports faster removal rates while maintaining control on a range of materials. The wheel’s 1/4-inch thickness and 1-1/4-inch arbor size, with a Type 1 configuration and a hardness grade of K, align with common grinding machine spindles and setup standards, helping ensure predictable performance under typical shop conditions.
This wheel is formulated for fast, cool cutting characteristics, making it suitable for grinding heat-sensitive alloys, mold steels, and high-speed steels rated below 58 Rockwell C. Compared with other widely used abrasive grains, AZ premium blue aluminum oxide is marketed for greater durability and sharper initial cutting action, which can translate into consistent material removal and surface finish when properly matched to the workpiece and grinding parameters. The 100-grit size provides a relatively fine surface texture, balancing material removal with finishing capability on appropriate substrates.
In practical use, this wheel is intended for applications requiring controlled stock removal with an emphasis on maintaining dimensional accuracy and a smooth finish. Users should verify machine compatibility with a 7-inch wheel, a 1-1/4 inch arbor, and the wheel’s RPM rating of 3,760 to ensure safe operation. The package format for this item is typically a single wheel per unit, with multiple wheels available per order depending on stock levels. Routine inspection for glazing or loading and adherence to manufacturer torque and dressing guidelines will help sustain consistent performance over time.
