CGW 34317 7" X 1/4" X 1-1/4" T1 AZ-150K 150-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW CGW34317 is a 7 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. It features AZ-150K premium blue aluminum oxide grain bonded to a solid wheel, offering a balance of sharpness and durability that is well-suited for high-speed grinding applications. The wheel is manufactured with a 1/4 inch thickness and a 1-1/4 inch arbor, categorized as a Type 1 wheel with 150 grit and a K hardness rating, allowing for controlled material removal and consistent results on appropriate workpieces.

The premium blue aluminum oxide formulation is selected for fast, cool cutting, which helps minimize heat buildup on heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, including high-speed steels when the RC hardness remains under 58. The wheel’s design aims to deliver efficient material removal while maintaining a stable grinding action, reducing the risk of surface damage when used within recommended parameters. These attributes can translate to longer wheel life and predictable performance in manufacturing or maintenance environments where precision grinding is needed.

For practical use, this wheel is compatible with standard surface grinding equipment that accepts a 1-1/4" arbor and can accommodate the 7" wheel diameter. It is packaged as an individual wheel, with box quantities noted by supplier for stocking and fulfillment. Proper mounting, balance, and cooling practices should be observed to realize the intended performance and to maintain wheel integrity over time, particularly when working with denser or heat-sensitive materials.
