CGW 35246 is a 20-inch diameter centerless and cylindrical grinding wheel designed for precision outer-surface grinding of round workpieces. This wheel features Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide grain (94AB) and a thickness of 2 inches with a 12-inch arbor/shank size, yielding a robust wheel suitable for high-accuracy applications. The addition of premium grain and bond technology is intended to provide sharpness and durability, which helps maintain effective material removal rates while reducing dressing frequency in demanding grinding tasks.
The wheel is specified with an 80-grit size and a P-grade hardness, balancing cutting power with the ability to withstand heat and maintain shape under load. It is described as having fast, cool cutting characteristics, which are advantageous when grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, as well as high-speed steels rated under 58 RC. This makes the wheel suitable for applications where maintaining dimensional stability and surface integrity is critical. Its formulation is marketed as more durable than comparable WA and PA grains while delivering sharpness for efficient material removal.
Typical use scenarios include centerless grinding of cylindrical parts, where the wheel’s geometry and grain technology support accurate, consistent stock removal from round workpieces. Practical considerations for this wheel include ensuring correct mounting to match the specified arbor size and RPM, and managing heat buildup during high-speed operations. The product is packaged as individual wheels with a box quantity of two, which aligns with workshops that purchase in pairs for production scheduling and stock management.
