CGW 34466 is a 14-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel uses AZ Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide grain, known for a balance of sharpness and durability, which supports fast cutting with good wear resistance. The wheel features a 1-1/2 inch thickness and a 5-inch arbor/shank size, with a Type 5 bond and a grit rating of 46, and it is rated J hardness. Operating at 1910 RPM, this wheel is suitable for high-speed grinding operations where heat management and material integrity are important considerations. The combination of premium grain and bond chemistry supports efficient material removal while maintaining dimensional accuracy on suitable workpieces.
Constructed for applications that require both rapid material removal and a controlled, cool-cutting action, the AZ-46J wheel is generally well-suited for grinding alloy steels and mold steels that can be heat sensitive. The blue aluminum oxide composition and bond design aim to balance cutting aggressiveness with wheel life, reducing the frequency of dressing and wheel changes in demanding shop environments. When selecting this wheel, users should ensure compatibility with their grinding setup, including spindle RPM limits, wheel size, and mounting hardware, to maintain safe and effective operation.
Packaging for this SKU typically includes two wheels per box, with the stated dimensions and RPM rating guiding compatibility with standard surface grinders. Proper wheel matching to the workpiece and grinding conditions is essential to achieving the desired surface finish and dimensional control. Routine inspection for cracks or wear and adherence to grinder manufacturer recommendations for wheel mounting and balancing help optimize performance and safety.
