The CGW 34673 is an 8-inch surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal or precise finishing on metal parts. This wheel uses WA-46J white aluminum oxide grain, selected for its balance of cut rate and heat resistance, which helps manage heat buildup during grinding of steel and other alloy substrates. With a 1/2-inch thickness and a 1-1/4-inch arbor, the wheel is configured for compatibility with standard 8" surface grinders and related equipment, supporting reliable mounting and consistent performance.
Key construction details include a Type 1 wheel profile and a 46-grit designation, which provide a relatively coarse yet controllable abrasive action suitable for both stock removal and achieving a specific surface finish. The J hardness grade indicates a balance between abrasive particle retention and wheel toughness, contributing to steady cutting action under typical grinding loads. Rated to operate at up to 3600 RPM, this wheel aligns with common high-speed grinding applications while maintaining acceptable safety margins when used with appropriate guards and safety practices.
This wheel is packaged as an individual item, with a package count of 10 per box, facilitating assembly in facilities that maintain multiple grinding stations or require replacement inventory. When selecting grinding wheels, verify that the machine spindle size, wheel diameter, thickness, and arbor compatibility match your grinder’s specifications to ensure proper seating and performance. Regular inspection for cracks, glaze, or wheel conditioning, and adherence to wheel-rotation direction and mounting guidelines, will help sustain consistency and extend wheel life.
