The CGW 34786 14" X 1" X 5" WA-46I 46-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is designed for precision surface grinding with controlled stock removal. This wheel employs white aluminum oxide grain, which is known for its balance of hardness and toughness, making it suitable for grinding heat-sensitive steels and easy-to-grind high-speed steels. Its Type 1 configuration with an I-grade hardness provides a specific balance of cut rate and wheel life for consistent results on a variety of workpieces.
The wheel's 14" diameter, 1" thickness, and 5" arbor/shank size define its compatibility with compatible surface grinding machines and setups. With a maximum RPM of 1910, users should ensure the machine and spindle speeds are matched to the wheel rating to maintain performance and safety. The 46-grit size indicates a relatively coarse finish option intended for light to moderate stock removal while preserving dimensional accuracy and a smooth final surface, depending on grinding conditions. This combination is particularly suited for applications requiring easy cutting action across all surfaces, as described by the manufacturer.
When selecting this wheel, verify that your grinding operation aligns with its grain type, grit, and hardness. Compatibility considerations include ensuring the toolhead accepts a 5" arbor, observing recommended speed limits, and adopting appropriate dressing routines to maintain wheel integrity and consistency. This wheel is provided as a packaged item, with multiple units per order, facilitating batch purchases for shop maintenance routines or job-site needs.
