CGW 34681 8" X 1/2" X 1-1/4" T1 GC-80I 80-Grit Green Silicion Carbide Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW 34681 is an 8-inch surface grinding wheel designed for precision material removal on non-ferrous metals and hard substrates. This wheel features a 1/2-inch thickness, a 1-1/4-inch arbor, and a T1 style designation with an 80-grit GC silicon carbide grain. The I-grade hardness indicates a balance between cut rate and wheel life suitable for controlled stock removal while delivering a consistent finish. The green silicon carbide formulation is chosen for its performance with carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome, enabling reliable grinding of tough, non-ferrous materials often encountered in facility maintenance and production environments.

The wheel’s construction supports heavy stock removal when required, yet is capable of achieving precise size and surface finish targets due to its established grain and bond combination. Its GC-80I specification helps determine the expected balance of aggressiveness and durability under typical grinding conditions, which matters for maintaining part tolerances and minimizing rework. This wheel is packaged as an individual item, with a box quantity suitable for shop replenishment, facilitating easy inventory management in maintenance operations.

When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinding spindle and arbor size to ensure proper mounting and performance. The 8" diameter, 1/2" thickness, and 1-1/4" arbor are specific to this model, so confirm the machine’s wheel seat and guard clearances before installation. Routine inspection for wheel dressing and truing is recommended to preserve surface finish quality and grinding efficiency over time.
