The CGW 34321 is a 7-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal while delivering a precise finish. Built with AZ-46K premium blue aluminum oxide grain, this wheel emphasizes sharpness and durability for demanding grinding tasks. Its formulation and bond are chosen to provide fast, cool cutting, which helps minimize heat buildup on heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels when operated at high speeds, making it suitable for a range of precision grinding applications in metalworking and fabrication environments.
Constructed as a Type 1 wheel with a 1/2-inch thickness and a 1-1/4-inch arbor, it is sized for compatible surface grinders and supports consistent wheel-to-work contact during continuous grinding cycles. The AZ premium grain is paired with a K-grade hardness to balance durability with the sharp cutting action needed for efficient material removal without excessive wheel wear. Compared to some other grain types, this combination aims to maintain a steady cutting cadence even under higher RPM operation, which is listed at 3,760 RPM for this wheel.
Practical considerations include ensuring proper mounting on compatible grinders and verifying that the workpiece material and inspection criteria align with the wheel’s capabilities. This wheel is packaged with ten units per box, which supports maintenance planning and inventory management in facilities performing regular surface grinding work. For best results, follow standard surface grinding practices, including appropriate coolants, dressing procedures, and wheel guards, to sustain performance and wheel life.
