CGW 34487 is a high-performance surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This 14-inch wheel features a 2-inch thickness and a 5-inch arbor, yielding a robust profile suitable for demanding grinding tasks. The wheel uses AZ - Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide grain, selected for its combination of sharpness and durability, which supports fast material removal while maintaining control over finish quality. The K hardness (hardness/grade) construction helps retain shape and grind consistency during use, contributing to stable performance on various workpieces. Overall, the combination of premium grain and the specified bond is intended to deliver efficient, cool cutting, making it a practical choice for high-speed operations where heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels are involved.
In practical terms, this wheel is suited for applications requiring both rapid material removal and the ability to achieve a controlled, precise surface finish. Its oxide grain is noted for durability relative to other common grains, which can translate into longer wheel life under appropriate conditions. The 60-grit size supports a balance between coarse material removal and surface quality, while the T5 specification indicates a particular wheel form and conditioning standard. Users should consider the wheel’s heat management characteristics when grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, especially at higher RPMs.
Compatibility and handling details are aligned with the stated 14" x 2" x 5" dimensions and 5" arbor, with a maximum operating speed around 1910 RPM typical for this wheel. This product is packaged as a single wheel, suitable for facilities maintaining standard grinding equipment configured for 14" wheels. Regular inspection for wheel wear and proper dressing/conditioning are advised to maintain performance and surface quality over time.
