CGW 34489 14" X 2" X 5" T7 AZ-46J 46-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

The CGW 34489 aluminum oxide surface grinding wheel is designed for heavy stock removal while delivering a precise finish on a range of metals. This wheel features AZ Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide grain, which is formulated for sharpness and durability, helping to maintain efficient cutting and long wheel life during demanding grinding tasks. Its 14-inch diameter, 2-inch thickness, and 5-inch arbor accommodate larger workpieces and higher material removal needs, while the Type 7 design is suitable for primarily through-feed grinding with adequate stock removal and surface quality. The J hardness grade and the 46 grit size strike a balance between aggressive material removal and the ability to produce a controlled, smooth finish, making it well-suited for mold steels, alloy steels, and other heat-sensitive alloys when grinding at appropriate speeds.

This wheel is engineered to deliver fast, cool cutting characteristics, which helps manage heat buildup during grinding. That performance is particularly relevant for high-strength steels and heat-treated components where excessive heat can cause surface damage or material distortion. By combining premium grain with robust bond technology, the wheel offers durability and consistent performance across multiple passes, reducing rework and improving overall productivity in metalworking operations.

Designed for compatibility with standard 14-inch grinder setups, this wheel lists a 1910 RPM operating speed, aligning with typical machine capabilities to ensure safe, effective use. Package presentation is straightforward, with each wheel provided as a single unit suitable for individual use and on-demand replacement in facility maintenance, manufacturing, or repair environments. Users should follow proper wheel mounting procedures and verify machine speed and workpiece material before grinding to maximize performance and extend wheel life.
