The CGW 37817 is a 20" x 3" x 8" surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. Featuring white aluminum oxide grain (WAG) and an 80 grit sizing, this wheel aims to balance material removal efficiency with a manageable chip load for good surface quality. The wheel is labeled as Type 1 with a hardness/grade of H, suitable for general purpose grinding while remaining a practical choice for applications that require controlled material removal on a variety of surfaces.
Constructed to accommodate high-speed grinding, the wheel operates at 1623 RPM and uses an 8" arbor/shank size. The combination of material, grit, and hardness can provide predictable performance when grinding heat-sensitive steels or steels that are easy to grind, helping to reduce heat buildup and surface damage when used within its intended parameters. The packaging is listed as a single unit per box, simplifying inventory and accessory planning for facilities performing routine grinding operations.
When selecting this wheel, verify compatibility with your grinding machine’s arbor size and operating speed to ensure safe operation and optimal results. Consider the 80-grit, white aluminum oxide formulation for applications requiring a relatively fine finish after material removal, and be mindful of the wheel’s Type 1 configuration as it relates to the mounting and grinding setup. Routine inspection and proper flaring resistance checks are advised to maintain wheel integrity over time.
