The CGW 34802 is a 14 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with the ability to achieve a precise finish to meet specific size requirements. It utilizes WA-grade white aluminum oxide abrasive, which is known for its balance of cut rate and wear resistance, making it suitable for grinding across workpieces that require controlled material removal and a fine final surface. The wheel is manufactured as a Type 1, with a 1-1/2 inch thickness and a 5 inch arbor/shank size, enabling compatibility with compatible grinding equipment configured for these dimensions. The 46-grit rating provides a relatively coarse but controlled finish, appropriate for applications where a faster material removal is needed without sacrificing subsequent finishing steps.
This wheel is intended for light to moderate stock removal on heat-sensitive steels and certain high-speed steels, where easy cutting action is advantageous. The combination of white aluminum oxide abrasive and the specific grain size helps balance cutting efficiency with resistance to glazing and dulling, which is particularly important for surface grinding operations that require a consistent, stable grind across wide contact areas. Operators should consider wheel speed and workpiece material to minimize heat buildup and potential thermal damage during grinding.
Packaging notes indicate a boxed quantity of two per package, with each wheel providing the specified diameter, thickness, and arbor size. Proper mounting and compatibility with the grinding machine’s spindle and guard configuration are essential, and users should confirm RPM ratings (1910 in this case) align with their equipment’s safe operating parameters. Regular inspection for cracks, wear, and wheel conditioning is advised to maintain performance and safety during routine maintenance and operation.
