CGW 34697 is an 8 inch diameter, 1 inch thick, 1-1/4 inch arbor surface grinding wheel designed for high-precision material removal on a variety of metals. This wheel uses WA-46J white aluminum oxide grain, a formulation chosen to support efficient cutting action while preserving a manageable heat profile during grinding. The T5 type designation and 46 grit indicate a wheel intended for moderate stock removal with a fine enough surface finish to meet close dimensional tolerances. The alloy-based wheel body and grain selection help balance fracture resistance with sharpness, making it suitable for campaigns that require consistent performance across multiple passes.
Constructed to operate at typical high-speed grinding settings, this wheel is rated for use up to 3600 RPM, aligning with common spindle speeds in many workshop and production environments. The 8" diameter, combined with a 1" thickness and a 1-1/4" arbor, defines its specific footprint and compatibility with standard surface grinder spindles designed for this wheel size. The WA-46J composite typically supports light to moderate stock removal, enabling precise finishing while reducing heat buildup that can affect workpiece properties.
This product is packaged as an individual wheel with a box quantity, facilitating straightforward stocking and replacement in facility maintenance and fabrication settings. When selecting a wheel for a given job, verify your grinder’s arbor size and maximum RPM to ensure compatibility with the 1-1/4" arbor and 3600 RPM rating, and confirm that the target material can benefit from white aluminum oxide grain without exceeding the wheel’s defined wear characteristics. For best results, maintain proper wheel dressing practices and inspect wheels for cracks prior to mounting.
