The CGW 34636 is a 7 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal or precise finishing on a variety of metals, including heat-sensitive steels. With a thickness of 3/4 inch and a 1-1/4 inch arbor, this Type 5 wheel uses WA-46H grit, a white aluminum oxide formulation, to provide predictable cutting action and consistent material removal. The H grade indicates a particular hardness suitable for controlled grinding performance under typical shop conditions.
Construction details reflect standard industry practices for surface grinding wheels: a 7" wheel diameter paired with a relatively narrow thickness supports rigidity and stable stocking while accommodating common cylindrical and surface grinding setups. The WA white aluminum oxide bond is chosen for its balance of toughness and wear resistance, contributing to a smoother finish and more predictable wear when used on ferrous metals and some nonferrous alloys. The wheel is rated for up to 3760 RPM, aligning with standard high-speed grinding equipment while maintaining safety margins when operated within manufacturer recommendations.
Practical use considerations include selecting this wheel when easy cutting action is needed across all surfaces or when applying light stock removal in preparation for fine finishing. It is suited for grinding heat-sensitive steels where excessive heat generation could cause adverse metallurgical effects, as well as high-speed steels that benefit from a consistent, controlled grind. When choosing compatibility, ensure your grinding machine accommodates a 7" wheel with a 1-1/4" arbor and that the spindle speed matches or stays below the specified RPM. The package configuration lists this item as an individual wheel, with multiple units per shipment where applicable, which could affect procurement planning.
