The CGW 34769 12" x 1-1/2" x 5" WA-46H 46-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for precise material removal on the surface grinding process. With a 12-inch diameter, 1-1/2-inch thickness, and a 5-inch arbor/shank size, this wheel is configured for heavy or light stock removal depending on the application, providing a controlled cut and consistent finish. The WA-46H designation identifies a white aluminum oxide abrasive, which is known for efficient grinding action on a variety of metals, including heat-sensitive steels, while helping to reduce heat buildup during use. The T5 hard/rigid type indicates a wheel engineered for stability at grinding speeds, supporting dependable performance in demanding surface-finishing tasks.
This wheel is intended for use where easy cutting action is required on all surfaces, and it can accommodate high-speed operations, as indicated by its RPM rating. The 46-grit size suggests a relatively coarse finish capable of removing material quickly while still producing a workable surface. The wheel’s construction is suitable for shop environments that require a balance between aggressive material removal and control to achieve targeted dimensions and surface quality.
Recommended usage includes general-purpose grinding and heavier stock removal on metal components, with particular effectiveness on steels that are heat-sensitive or difficult to grind with softer abrasives. Users should ensure their grinding equipment is compatible with a 12" wheel and a 5" arbor, and observe standard safety practices, including proper mounting, guarding, and PPE. Packaged as unit quantities of two wheels per box, inventory considerations should account for replacement needs and consistent performance across multiple operations.
