CGW 34752 12" X 1" X 5" T1 WA-46H 46-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

The CGW 34752 is a 12-inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal and achieving a precise finish on a variety of materials. With a 1-inch thickness and a 5-inch arbor/shank size, this wheel is suitable for compatible surface grinders that accept 12" wheels with a 5" bore. The WA-46H designation identifies the wheel’s grain and hardness, providing a reference for its cutting action and durability during grinding tasks.

The wheel uses white aluminum oxide grain (WA) to support efficient cutting on tough metals, including heat-sensitive steels and high-speed steels. Its 46-grit size offers a balance between material removal rate and surface finish, while the H hardness rating indicates a relatively rigid wheel intended for higher-resistance materials and stable performance under load. This composition supports controlled stock removal with predictable results, making it appropriate for applications requiring a combination of aggressive cutting and a defined final dimension.

Users should consider compatible grinding parameters and equipment when selecting this wheel. The 12" diameter and 1" thickness define the wheel’s contact area with the workpiece, and the 5" arbor size must match the machine’s spindle or trunnion configuration. Typical practice includes verifying wheel speed limits and mounting procedures to ensure safe operation. This wheel is packaged as a single item, with two wheels per package, so plan for the required quantity in your grinding cell or repair shop. When selecting abrasive wheels, confirm material compatibility, desired finish, and machine compatibility to achieve consistent, predictable results.
