The CGW 34618 is a 7 inch by 1/2 inch by 1-1/4 inch T1 WA-46K surface grinding wheel designed for precision material removal on a variety of workpieces. With a 46-grit white aluminum oxide (WA) grain, the wheel is intended for light to moderate stock removal while delivering a consistent, controllable cut suitable for precision grinding tasks. The T1 wheel geometry and WA-46K composition are chosen to balance cutting action with heat dissipation, which helps manage heat generation on heat-sensitive steels and other alloys during grinding operations.
Constructed to meet common surface grinding needs, this wheel is sized for 7" discs with a 1/4" arbor through-hole specification, compatible with standard grinders that accept 1-1/4" mounting wheels. The WA white aluminum oxide abrasive is well-regarded for its ability to cut efficiently on a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, contributing to predictable performance during routine maintenance or fabrication tasks. The GRK designation (Grade/Hardness K) indicates a medium-hard wheel suitable for controlled stock removal while maintaining wheel life under typical shop conditions.
When selecting this wheel, consider its grit and hardness in relation to the material being ground and the desired finish. The 46-grit size favors a relatively aggressive cut for light stock removal, but operators should monitor wheel wear and workpiece temperature to avoid thermal damage. The wheel ships in a package quantity of 10 per box, and is appropriate for use in standard surface grinding setups that accept 7" diameter wheels with a 1-1/4" arbor. For best results, ensure proper mounting, balancing, and wheel dressing per equipment guidelines to maintain consistent performance over time.
