CGW 34364 8" X 3/4" X 1-1/4" T5 AZ-60J 60-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW 34364 is an 8-inch exterior grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. Built with AZ-Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide grain and a Type 5, grit 60 formulation, this wheel emphasizes a blend of sharpness and durability. The AZ grain technology is chosen for applications that require fast material removal with a cool cutting action, which helps minimize heat buildup when grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels.

The wheel features a 3/4-inch thickness and a 1-1/4-inch arbor/shank size, compatible with standard 8-inch grinding machines that support this bore. Its J hardness rating indicates a relatively stiff bond that supports aggressive grinding while maintaining control over stock removal and finish quality. With a 3600 RPM rating, the wheel is suitable for high-speed operation on compatible equipment, aiding efficient production workflows.

Applications typically include precision surface grinding where both material removal and finish are important, such as alloy steels and mold steels within the specified hardness range. Practical considerations include selecting the correct arbor size, ensuring proper wheel speed corresponds to machine capabilities, and verifying that the wheel is used with appropriate guards and cooling methods to manage heat generation. The product is packaged as individual wheels or in multiples per the listed package size to support maintenance cycles and stocking requirements.
