The CGW 34425 is a 12" x 1" x 5" T1 AZ-60J premium blue aluminum oxide surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. Its AZ premium grain and bond technology balance sharpness and durability to provide effective material removal while maintaining control over grinding quality. The wheel is engineered for fast, cool cutting, which helps minimize heat buildup when grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels that fall under higher hardness ranges.
Constructed with a 60 grit AZ blue aluminum oxide grain and a J hardness rating, the wheel emphasizes sustained cutting efficiency and durability during extended grinding operations. The 12" diameter and 1" thickness establish a robust wheel footprint for stable grinding, while the 5" arbor/shaft size specifies compatibility with compatible grinders and arbor adapters that support this wheel form factor. This wheel is offered in a package configuration noted as multiple units per shipment, facilitating bulk procurement for shop-floor inventories.
Practical use typically includes applications requiring aggressive removal and precise finishing on tool, die, and cast components, as well as general surface grinding tasks on alloy steels and similar materials. To ensure correct performance and safety, verify your machine’s spindle compatibility with a 5" arbor and ensure appropriate grinding parameters align with the wheel’s AZ-60J specification and manufacturer guidelines. Maintenance considerations include regular inspection for cracks, bond wear, and ensuring wheel guards and dressing practices are followed to preserve wheel integrity.
