The CGW 34352 is an 8-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precision finish. It features a 1/2-inch thick form factor and a 1-1/4-inch arbor, making it compatible with standard surface grinders and common grinding machines used in facility maintenance settings. The wheel uses AZ-premium blue aluminum oxide grain, which is selected for a balance of sharpness and durability, supporting efficient material removal while maintaining a controlled cut.
With a type 1 designation and a grit size of 46, this wheel provides a relatively coarse touch for faster material removal while still achieving a workable finish on suitable materials. The J-grade hardness indicates a moderate bond that helps retain abrasive grains during grinding, contributing to predictable performance and wheel life. Rated for up to 3600 RPM, it is intended for high-speed grinding applications on alloys, steels, and similar metals where heat generation is a concern, aiding in keeping the workpiece from overheating under typical shop conditions.
Practical use of this CGW wheel centers on precision surface grinding where a combination of rapid stock removal and a controlled final finish is required. It is suitable for mold steels and alloy steels that do not exceed the aluminum oxide wheel’s documented capabilities, particularly where heat-sensitive materials may be involved. Ensure correct mounting, guard clearance, and wheel installation practices per machine requirements, and verify compatibility with your grinder’s arbor and speed ratings. The package in standard practice is sold as individual units, with a box quantity of 10 for stocking convenience.
