CGW 34454 is a 14 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel features AZ-60K premium blue aluminum oxide grain bonded for a balance of sharpness and durability, which supports efficient material removal while preserving dimensions and achieving a consistent surface finish. The 1 inch thickness and 5 inch arbor/shank size define the wheel’s footprint for compatible grinder setups. The K-hardness rating indicates a relatively rigid wheel suitable for tough grinding tasks, and the 60-grit size offers a middle ground between material removal rate and finish quality. The wheel is manufactured to deliver fast, cool cutting behavior that helps minimize heat buildup on heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, aligning with high-speed grinding applications where heat control is important.
In practice, this wheel is well-suited for applications requiring significant material removal on alloy steels, mold steels, and other tough metals where maintaining tight tolerances is essential. Its premium grain and bond technology are intended to optimize both cutter life and the resulting finish, with the expectation of durable performance compared to standard WA and PA formulations. When selecting a wheel of this type, operators should consider the specific grinding task, machine RPM compatibility, and wheel balance to ensure optimal results and safety during operation.
Compatibility and packaging details indicate a 14" diameter, 1" thickness, and 5" arbor/shank size, with a package configuration described as Each in a two-wheel pack. As always, verify machine specs, especially RPM compatibility (the listed RPM is 1910), and ensure appropriate guards, mounting hardware, and wheel dressers are used to maintain wheel performance and safety.
