The CGW 34482 is a 14 inch mutual-use surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. It features a 14" diameter, 2" thickness, and a 5" arbor/shank size, with a Type 5 designation and 46 grit. This wheel uses AZ Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide grain, chosen for a balance of sharpness and durability, which supports efficient material removal while maintaining dimensional control. The J hardness grade indicates a wheel calibrated for a controlled cut rate and predictable wear in compatible grinding setups. The wheel’s construction is intended to deliver fast, cool cutting characteristics, which helps minimize heat buildup when grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels. This can reduce thermal distortion and preserve tool and workpiece integrity during extended grinding passes.
Practical use of this wheel centers on precision surface grinding tasks where both aggressiveness and a stable finish are required. It is particularly suited for alloy steels and mold steels that can be sensitive to heat, given its emphasis on cool-cutting performance. When selecting a grinding wheel, verify the machine’s spindle speed and arbor compatibility to ensure safe operation at typical speeds around 1910 RPM for this wheel. The package size is listed as “Each,” with one wheel per box, so plan for individual replacement as wear progresses. No additional standards, materials, or country-of-origin information are provided in the documented data, and any alternate uses should be evaluated against this product’s specified dimensions and grain type to avoid incompatibilities.
