CGW 34633 is a 7-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precision finish. The wheel features a 1/2-inch face thickness and an arbor size of 1-1/4 inches, with a Type 1 designation, and a 46-grit RA Ruby Aluminum Oxide grain. This combination provides a tough, sharp friable abrasive that maintains form under heavy grinding actions and offers good material removal rates while delivering a consistent surface quality. The H-hardness grade indicates a relatively rigid wheel suitable for demanding grinding tasks, which helps resist wheel loss of dimension during high-pressure operations.
This wheel is well-suited for rough grinding of tool steels, including alloys with elevated chromium content, where control of stock removal and dimensional accuracy is important. The ruby aluminum oxide formulation combines toughness with abrasion resistance, contributing to reliable performance on tough, nonferrous and ferrous materials alike, depending on the workpiece and setup. For best results, ensure proper wheel mounting, balanced operation, and appropriate dressing to maintain the intended profile and surface finish.
Packaging notes indicate the wheel is sold per piece, with a box quantity of 10, which supports stocking and efficient replenishment in maintenance environments. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinding machine spindle size (1-1/4" arbor) and confirm that the application requires a 7" wheel with a 46-grit surface for rough to semi-finish grinding tasks on steel workpieces. Proper safety and wheel replacement procedures should be followed, including guarding and personal protective equipment relevant to grinding operations.
