The CGW 38201 is an 8 inch bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping tasks. It employs AZ premium blue aluminum oxide grain, which is selected to balance sharpness with durability for heavy grinding and material shaping in industrial settings. The wheel’s T1 bond and 1-1/4 inch arbor are specified to fit standard bench and pedestal grinders, providing consistent performance when mounted correctly on compatible machines.
Key construction details include AZ premium blue aluminum oxide grain, which is engineered for fast, cool cutting characteristics. This helps reduce heat buildup in workpieces, making it suitable for grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, particularly high-speed steels under 58 Rockwell C. The wheel is categorized for high rigidity with a 36 grit size and a K hardness, indicating a relatively tough wheel designed to retain shape under heavy stock removal while delivering a productive cut. This combination aims to deliver both rapid material removal and controlled finishes on a variety of steel types.
Typical use scenarios include deburring, edge cleanup, and shaping operations on metal components where robust grinding is required. When selecting this wheel, confirm compatibility with your grinder’s arbor size (1-1/4 inch) and ensure the wheel’s RPM rating aligns with your machine’s speed (the wheel is rated for 3600 RPM). Since the catalog does not provide additional packaging or country-of-origin details, verify packaging and handling recommendations with your supplier, and inspect wheels for any damage prior to use to ensure safe operation.
