The CGW 34634 is a 7 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal while delivering a precise finish and controlled size. Built with ruby aluminum oxide abrasive, this wheel combines a tough, sharp friable grain with good form retention to handle demanding grinding tasks on tool steels and materials with higher chromium content. The grain designation RA indicates the ruby aluminum oxide composition, which supports both efficient material removal and a stable grind for consistent results on difficult-to-machine metals.
Constructed as a Type 1 wheel with a 1/2 inch thickness and a 1-1/4 inch arbor/shank size, the wheel is offered in a J/K hardness range that helps balance cutting action with wheel life under typical shop conditions. The 46 grit size provides a balance between aggressive material removal and the ability to achieve a more precise surface finish, making it suitable for rough grinding steps that precede final finishing on tool steels and alloys containing chromium. The wheel is rated to operate at up to 3760 RPM, which aligns with common high-speed surface grinding equipment and helps ensure the proper engagement and performance when used within the machine’s rated speed.
Users should consider the practical implications of wheel type and grain when planning grinding operations: heavier stock removal will produce more heat and potential wheel wear, so appropriate coolant use and dressing practices help maintain wheel geometry and surface quality. The CGW34634 is packaged as individual wheels, with a box quantity of 10, facilitating bulk stocking for shops that rely on consistent, repeatable wheel performance. When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinding machine’s spindle size and speed, and ensure correct mounting and guards are in place to support safe operation.
