The CGW 34343 is a 7 inch diameter, 1 inch thick, 1-1/4 inch arbor surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel uses AZ-46I premium blue aluminum oxide grain, selected for applications that require both sharpness and durability in a single wheel. The Type 5 wheel with an I hardness rating indicates a relatively rigid bond designed to hold up under demanding grinding tasks while maintaining a stable cutting action. At a rated 3760 RPM, the wheel is suitable for high-speed grinding operations commonly used in metal fabrication and tooling environments.
Construction features include the premium AZ grain chemistry and bond system that contribute to faster, cooler cutting characteristics compared to standard aluminum oxide wheels. This makes it a practical choice when working with heat-sensitive materials or alloys, where controlling heat buildup is important to prevent workpiece distortion and metallurgical changes. The wheel is sized for standard 7" grinders and provides a robust option for achieving consistent stock removal and surface finish requirements, with a 1-1/4" arbor compatible with compatible machines and mounting hardware.
Typical use scenarios include grinding mild to alloy steels and mold steels, particularly where a balance of sharpness, durability, and cooling efficiency is needed. Practical considerations include ensuring the wheel is run at appropriate speeds for its Type 5 rigidity and using proper dressing methods to maintain projection and wheel balance. The package designation is listed as each with a box quantity of 10, supporting batch purchasing and stocking needs for maintenance, repair, and operations workflows.
