The CGW 34770 is a straight-grain grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish on a range of materials. This 12" diameter wheel features a 1-1/2" thickness and a 5" arbor, suitable for compatible surface grinding machines that accept T5 type wheels. The WA-46I designation identifies the wheel as white aluminum oxide with a relatively fine 46-grit, which supports controlled material removal while reducing heat buildup on heat-sensitive steels and easy-to-grind high-speed steels.
Constructed with white aluminum oxide abrasive, this wheel aims to balance cutting action and finish quality. The I hardness grade indicates a moderately hard wheel, appropriate for applications that require consistent wheel life and predictable wear. With a rated operating speed of 2220 RPM, users must ensure their grinder is matched to or below that speed to maintain safe operation and wheel integrity.
Typical applications involve grinding surfaces where a blend of stock removal and precision finishing is needed, including challenging steels where easy cutting action is helpful. When selecting a wheel for a given job, consider material hardness, desired finish, and tolerance requirements, as well as the machine’s spindle and arbor compatibility. This product is packaged as an individual wheel, with two wheels per box, so ensure your inventory aligns with your production cadence and spare-part planning.
