The CGW 34447 14 inch by 1 inch by 5 inch T1 AZ-46H 46-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for precision stock removal with a controlled, fine finish on suitable materials. This wheel features AZ premium blue aluminum oxide grain, chosen for a balance of sharpness and durability, which supports faster material removal while maintaining surface integrity on heat-sensitive alloys. The H hardness rating indicates a relatively rigid bond, which helps resist clamping and provides consistent performance during higher rigidity grinding operations. Its 14" diameter and 1" thickness establish a substantial contact area, while the 5" arbor/shank size aligns with common surface grinder spindle configurations, enabling straightforward integration into compatible grinding setups.
The combination of premium grain and bond technology is intended to deliver rapid penetration with a cooler cut, which is advantageous when working with alloy steels and mold steels that may respond poorly to heat buildup. While this wheel is described as suitable for heavy stock removal, it also aims to produce a precise finish, supporting applications where dimensional accuracy and surface quality are both critical. Practically, users should consider the wheel’s 46 grit and premium blue oxide composition when selecting grinding parameters, including feed rate and wheel speed, to balance material removal with the desired surface finish.
This product is packaged as individual wheels in a two-pack, consistent with the specified package size. When selecting a replacement wheel, confirm compatibility with your grinder’s arbor size (5 in) and ensure the machine’s speed does not exceed the wheel’s RPM rating of 1910 RPM. Proper mounting, balancing, and dressing of the wheel are important for achieving optimal performance and maintaining wheel life.
