The CGW 34456 is a 14 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. It features a 1-1/2 inch thickness and a 5 inch arbor/shank size, classifying it as a Type 1 wheel with a grit rating of 46 and a hard H grade. The wheel uses AZ-46H premium blue aluminum oxide grain, which is chosen for a balance of sharpness and durability, supporting efficient material removal while maintaining a controlled cut. This combination is particularly suitable for applications that involve grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, delivering faster cutting action with a cooler performance compared to some other grain types. The premium grain and bond technology are cited as contributing to both longevity and a capable, consistent finish.
When selecting a grinding wheel, it’s important to match wheel specifications to the workpiece material and grinding parameters. The AZ-46H formulation aims to provide a good blend of abrasion resistance and heat management, which can help minimize workpiece softening and glazing during high-speed grinding. The wheel’s size, grit, and hardness all influence the aggressiveness of material removal and the resulting surface finish, so verifying compatibility with your grinding machine’s RPM and arbor requirements is essential. This wheel is packaged as each, with a box quantity of 2, and is suited for facility maintenance and metalworking tasks where a reliable, precise surface finish is required.
