CGW 34336 7" X 3/4" X 1-1/4" T5 AZ-46I 46-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish on workpieces. This 7-inch wheel features a 1-1/4 inch arbor and a 3/4 inch thickness, making it suitable for compact grinding setups that require strong rigidity and accurate material removal. The AZ-46I designation signals a premium blue aluminum oxide grain bonded for consistency in performance, delivering sharp cutting action with durability that supports repeated passes on demanding materials.
The wheel’s premium grain and bond technology are chosen for applications where a combination of sharpness and longevity matters. It is described as having fast and cool cutting characteristics, which helps reduce heat buildup during grinding of heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, particularly alloys with higher hardness. This makes it a practical choice for precision grinding tasks that can benefit from reduced thermal distortion and improved surface finish.
In use, this wheel is compatible with standard 7" grinding hardware that accepts a 1-1/4" arbor, and it is packaged as an individual item or in box quantities as appropriate for stock management. Users should verify that their grinder RPM matches or exceeds the wheel’s rated 3,760 RPM to ensure safe operation. The combination of dimensions, grit size (46), and AZ premium grain supports controlled material removal with a finer surface finish on appropriate alloy and mold steels, while the I hardness grade indicates a relatively rigid wheel suitable for maintaining shape under load.
