CGW 34325 7" X 1/2" X 1-1/4" T1 AZ-60J 60-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW 34325 7" x 1/2" x 1-1/4" T1 AZ-60J 60-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for heavy stock removal with a controlled, precise finish. This wheel uses AZ Premium Blue aluminum oxide grain bonded to deliver a balance of sharpness and durability, making it a solid choice for projects that require fast material removal while maintaining part tolerances. The T1 configuration and 1/2" thickness provide a robust grind surface, suitable for applications that demand consistent contouring and flatness on metal workpieces.

Engineered for fast cutting with cooler operation, the wheel is especially effective on heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, including high-speed steels under 58 HRC. The AZ-60J designation indicates a specific grain and hardness combination intended to optimize both cutting efficiency and wheel life compared with standard WA or PA grades. This can reduce wheel changes and improve productivity in repetitive grinding tasks.

In practical use, ensure the wheel is mounted to the correct arbor size and used with compatible grinders that match the stated RPM to maintain performance and safety. The specification notes indicate a 7" diameter with a 1-1/4" arbor, 60 grit, and a J hardness rating, which influence finish quality and stock removal rate. Packaged as single units with box quantities of 10, this wheel is suitable for restocking on maintenance shop benches and for use in metal fabrication or tool-and-die environments where consistent, medium-coarse surface finishes are required.
