The CGW 34465 is a 14-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal while delivering a precise finish. Cataloged as an AZ-46I 46-grit premium blue aluminum oxide wheel, it blends sharpness with durability to support metalworking tasks that require controlled material removal and dimension accuracy. The wheel features a T5 hardness grade and an I (intermediate) bond, which together influence wear characteristics and the ability to maintain grind geometry during use. With an arbour size of 5 inches and a thickness of 1-1/2 inches, this wheel is structured for stable performance on compatible surface grinding equipment operating at higher speeds.
The AZ Premium Blue aluminum oxide grain is chosen for its balance of grit penetration and edge retention, aiming to provide efficient removal while reducing heat generation compared with some alternatives. This can be advantageous when grinding heat-sensitive alloys or mold steels, where minimizing thermal distortion helps preserve metallurgical properties. The 46 grit size indicates a medium-coarse texture suitable for tasks that require faster material removal without sacrificing a defined finish. Packaging notes indicate the wheel is sold as an individual item, with a typical box quantity of two, making it convenient for stocking and repeated use in production environments.
Applications typically include general surface grinding, tool and die work, and other processes that benefit from a robust, cool-cutting wheel. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinding machine’s spindle and guard clearances, and ensure RPM ratings align with the wheel’s 1910 RPM specification to maintain safe operation. Regular inspection for glazing or wear and proper dressing can help preserve the wheel’s performance and lifecycle.
