The CGW 34419 12" X 1" X 5" T1 AZ-46H 46-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for heavy stock removal while delivering a precise finish. This wheel uses AZ premium blue aluminum oxide grain, selected for a balance of sharpness and durability, which helps maintain efficient cutting and a consistent grinding action. The T1 type bond and H hardness rating indicate a wheel intended for applications requiring strong form retention under demanding grinding conditions, with a grind that can handle relatively high removal rates while preserving part size and surface quality.
Its 12-inch diameter, 1-inch thickness, and 5-inch arbor/shank dimension are configured for compatibility with standard surface grinding setups. The premium grain/bond combination is noted for fast, cool cutting, which is advantageous when grinding heat-sensitive materials, mold steels, and alloy steels that may be prone to thermal damage or distortion if heat buildup is excessive. The result is a wheel that aims to minimize heat-affected zones during material removal while delivering a durable grinding action that tolerates higher speeds and sustained use.
Ideal use scenarios include heavy stock removal on metals where maintaining close tolerances is important and where alloy or mold steels are involved. Operators should ensure the wheel is mounted to rated equipment and observe RPM specifications to match the wheel’s design, which supports efficient material removal at up to 2,220 RPM. The wheel is packaged as two pieces per box, each with the specified dimensions for inventory planning and compatible tool setups. Proper dressing and truing are recommended to preserve wheel shape and performance over time.
