The CGW 34629 is a precision surface grinding wheel designed for fast material removal with a controlled finish. This wheel is sized for use on standard surface grinding equipment, featuring a 7-inch diameter, a 1/2-inch thickness, and a 1-1/4 inch arbor/shank size, making it suitable for applications requiring a substantial stock removal while maintaining tight dimensional accuracy. The wheel uses GC (silicon carbide) grain, which is recognized for its hardness and stability when grinding non-ferrous metals, carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome components. The grade is labeled I, indicating a relatively medium-hard bond, which provides a balance between wheel life and cutting action for demanding grinding tasks.
Key construction details include the 100-grit grain size, which yields a finer surface finish compared to coarser wheels while still enabling efficient material removal. With a rated operating speed of up to 3,760 RPM, the wheel is compatible with a range of grinding machines that support these specifications. The packaging specifies a single wheel per unit, with a box quantity of 10, facilitating inventory management for shops that perform high-volume or recurring maintenance grinding tasks.
Practical use of this wheel centers on heavy stock removal followed by fine finishing to meet precise size and surface quality requirements. It is suitable for non-ferrous metals, carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome workpieces where silicon carbide tools are preferred for their hardness and sharpness. When selecting this wheel, verify machine compatibility with the 1-1/4 inch arbor and ensure appropriate safety measures and wheel guards are in place for high-speed grinding operations. The data reflects manufacturer specifications for this specific CGW wheel model, aiding compatibility and maintenance planning in facility maintenance and MRO environments.
