The CGW 34366 is an 8 inch by 1 inch by 1-1/4 inch T5 AZ-46H premium blue aluminum oxide surface grinding wheel designed for heavy material removal with precise finish and size control. It uses AZ-grade premium blue aluminum oxide grain and a specialized bond to balance sharpness and durability, making it well suited for demanding grinding tasks where both rapid stock removal and a controlled surface are required.
Constructed for cool, fast cutting, this wheel delivers efficient performance on heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, including high-speed steels rated under 58 RC, helping to minimize heat buildup during grinding. Compared to some standard aluminum oxide wheels, AZ premium grain provides improved chip formation and edge life, contributing to a more durable wheel that maintains sharpness during extended use.
Ideal applications include surface grinding operations where a precise finish is necessary after material removal. It is important to select compatible equipment and guards for 8" wheels, ensuring proper mounting and RPM adherence. The wheel is sized with an 8" diameter, 1" thickness, and a 1-1/4" arbor, and is offered in packages that ship as a single item or in multiples, per supplier packaging. When using this wheel, monitor grind temperature and workpiece hardness to achieve the intended balance of speed, precision, and finish.
