The CGW 34703 is an 8-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish on non-ferrous metals, carbide, granite, ceramic, and chrome. This wheel uses GC-Silicon Carbide grain and is molded in a Type 5 configuration, offering an I (hard) grade and 60-grit profile to balance material removal with a refined surface texture. Its 1-inch thickness and 1-1/4 inch arbor/shank compatibility provide a stable, rigid cut zone for controlled grinding operations, making it suitable for applications that demand accuracy alongside material removal efficiency.
The wheel is engineered to operate at up to 3600 RPM, which supports high-speed grinding tasks common in fabrication and maintenance environments. The combination of grain type, grit size, and hardness level contributes to a wheel that behaves predictably when shaping hard, non-ferrous alloys and challenging substrates, while delivering a consistent finish that can reduce secondary finishing work. Practical use considerations include ensuring appropriate grinding parameters to match the wheel’s density and heat generation characteristics, and confirming compatibility with your grinder arbor setup to avoid imbalance or vibration.
Packaged as an individual item with a typical box quantity of 10, this wheel adheres to standard form factors for 8-inch surface grinding operations. Proper mounting, truing, and dressing are recommended to maintain wheel profile and surface quality over time. By aligning the wheel’s specifications with your grinding task—particularly material type, desired finish, and machine speed—you can optimize productivity and achieve repeatable results in routine maintenance and fabrication workflows.
