CGW 34480 14" X 2" X 5" T5 AZ-46H 46-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

The CGW 34480 is a 14 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for precision material removal on heavy stock while achieving tight size tolerances. It features premium blue aluminum oxide grain (AZ) with a 46 grit size and a Type 5, H hardness bond, positioned for fast cutting and improved durability. The wheel’s AZ premium grain combination is intended to deliver a balance of sharpness and longevity, contributing to efficient grinding of heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels where heat buildup must be minimized.

Constructed to support high-speed grinding, the wheel is specified with an arbor/shaft size of 5 inches and a bore configuration suitable for compatible grinding machines operating near the stated RPM. The materials and grain/bond choice are aimed at providing a cooler cut relative to some other aluminum oxide formulations, which can help reduce thermal stress on workpieces. This makes it a practical option for shops performing routine surface grinding tasks that require both material removal and a consistent finish.

For buyers, the package is a single wheel per unit, aligning with standard inventory and replacement planning for facility maintenance operations. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinding machine’s spindle and flanges, confirm the 5 inch arbor requirement, and ensure the machine’s maximum operating speed aligns with the rated RPM of 1910. Proper mounting, balancing, and dressing are recommended to maintain performance and wheel life.
