CGW 34761 is a 12 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish, suitable for applications that require controlled material removal and accurate sizing. This wheel uses WA-46H white aluminum oxide abrasive, which is known for good cutting action on a variety of steels and alloys. The 12" x 1-1/2" x 3" size, Type 5 configuration, and 46 grit combine to provide a balance of stock removal and surface quality, while the H hardness rating helps sustain shape and performance under demanding grinding conditions. The wheel's construction supports effective grinding on heat-sensitive steels and easy-to-grind high-speed steels, enabling reliable performance when high cutting efficiency is needed without excessive heat buildup.
In practice, this wheel is suited for general-purpose surface grinding tasks where easy cutting action and a relatively fine surface finish are desired. The combination of white aluminum oxide abrasive and a Type 5 wheel design typically offers stable cutting action and predictable wear characteristics, contributing to consistent results across grinding passes. When selecting a wheel for a given job, consider factors such as the workpiece material, required finish, and machine speed to ensure compatibility with the wheel’s rated RPM of 2,220 and its 3 inch arbor/shank specification.
Packaging details indicate each wheel is sold individually, with the option of two wheels per package, which can support setups that require paired wheels or multi-die grinding operations. Regular inspection for wheel balance and surface condition is recommended to preserve performance and safety during routine maintenance of grinding equipment.
