The CGW 34698 surface grinding wheel is designed for heavy stock removal and precise finishing on multiple materials, with an 8 inch diameter, 1 inch face width, and a 1-1/4 inch arbor. This wheel uses WA-46K white aluminum oxide abrasive, a combination chosen for effective cutting action and compatibility with heat-sensitive steels, making it suitable for applications that require careful material removal without excessive heat buildup. The 46-grit designation provides a balance between material removal rate and a finer finish, while the K hardness rating indicates a balance of wheel strength and cut rate for consistent performance in moderate to high stock-removal tasks.
The wheel is configured as a T5 type, a standard form commonly used in surface grinding operations where good rigidity and balance are important to achieve close tolerances. Operators should note that the wheel is rated for up to 3600 RPM, which informs correct mounting speeds on compatible grinders to maintain safety and wheel integrity. This particular package is sold as individual wheels, with a box quantity of 10, which can support multiple machines or spare needs in a maintenance shop.
When selecting this wheel, consider the material’s heat sensitivity and the need for controlled stock removal to reach precise sizes. Proper dressing and truing are recommended to maintain wheel geometry and grinding performance. The combination of size, grit, and abrasive type provides a predictable cut rate for general-purpose grinding tasks on heat-resistant steels and similar alloys, supporting standard facility maintenance and small- to mid-size fabrication workflows.
