CGW 34794 14" X 1-1/2" X 5" T5 WA-46I 46-Grit White Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

The CGW 34794 is a 14-inch surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a controlled, precise finish. It uses WA-46I white aluminum oxide grain, a formulation noted for effective cutting action on a range of steels, including heat-sensitive grades, while still delivering a defined grind. The wheel’s Type 5 designation indicates a recessed center wheel intended for use on standard surface grinders, and its 46-grit size provides a balance between material removal and surface finish. Manufactured to a 1-1/2-inch thickness and a 5-inch arbor size, this wheel is suited for equipment configured to accept that specific bore and profile. The I-grade hardness signals a relatively firm wheel intended for sustained cutting pressure and consistent performance under heavier workloads. The stated RPM of 1910 indicates the operating speed compatibility used during safe, standard grinding practice. The packaging is described as consisting of two wheels per box, with each wheel sold individually under the CGW34794 part number.

In practice, this wheel is appropriate for general-purpose surface grinding where easy cutting action is needed and stock removal needs to be controlled. It’s particularly suitable where hardness and heat generation are considerations, as white aluminum oxide wheels typically accommodate a range of steels while resisting glazing. Practically, users should verify their grinder’s arbor size and speed rating match the wheel’s 5" arbor and 1910 RPM specification, and ensure appropriate flanges and cooling/lubrication are used per standard grinding procedures. The 46-grit, WA-46I configuration aims to provide a reliable balance between material removal rate and finish quality for routine maintenance and fabrication tasks.
