CGW 34616 is a 7-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal or precise finishing on a variety of metals. This wheel features a 1/2-inch face width and an arbor size of 1-1/4 inch, with a T1 grain designation. The WA-46I designation identifies it as a white aluminum oxide product, which is commonly chosen for its balanced cutting action and ability to machine heat-sensitive steels and high-speed steels with controlled stock removal and a consistent finish. The wheel is categorized by CGW for facility maintenance applications where a reliable, rigid grind is required to achieve tight dimensional tolerances on flat surfaces.
Constructed for practical grinding tasks, the 46-grit white aluminum oxide grain provides a coarser initial cut suitable for removing material while still offering the potential for a relatively smooth final surface when used with appropriate feed rates and grinding parameters. The I hardness grade indicates a relatively stiff wheel that maintains form during use, helping to preserve dimensional accuracy on longer grinding passes. This combination of grain, hardness, and wheel geometry is intended to support easy cutting action on multiple surfaces, including heat-sensitive steels that can be challenging to grind with more aggressive media.
This wheel is sized and packaged to fit standard 7" bench or pedestal grinder configurations that accept a 1-1/4" arbor. When selecting this wheel, ensure compatibility with the grinder’s RPM rating and mounting hardware; the listed RPM of 3,760 illustrates the speed at which this wheel is designed to operate safely. Packaging is noted as a per-unit item, with a typical box quantity of 10 pieces, which may influence procurement planning for maintenance operations.
