CGW 38206 8" X 1" X 1-1/4" T1 AZ-120K 120-Grit Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide Bench & Pedestal Grinding Wheel

The CGW 38206 is an 8 inch bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for general stock removal, sharpening, deburring, and shaping. Crafted with premium AZ blue aluminum oxide grain, this wheel emphasizes a balance of sharpness and durability suitable for a range of metalworking tasks. The wheel’s 1 inch thickness and 1-1/4 inch arbor accommodate common mounting configurations on standard bench and pedestal grinders, while its 120 grit rating provides a versatile finish between aggressive material removal and smoother edge finishing.

Constructed to maintain efficient cutting with reduced heat buildup, the AZ premium grain technology supports fast, cool-cutting action. This makes it a practical choice for grinding heat-sensitive alloys and mold steels, including high-speed steels with a Rockwell hardness up to around 58 RC, where excessive temperatures could affect workpiece properties. The combination of grain and bond is selected to deliver reliable performance and longer wheel life under typical shop conditions, competing favorably with other standard aluminum oxide formulations in terms of both sharpness and durability.

For use, ensure proper mounting on compatible grinders and observe standard safety practices for wheel replacement and operation. The package sizing is listed as a single wheel per package, suitable for procurement into stationary grinding setups where 8" wheels are standard. Verify the wheel’s diameter, thickness, and arbor size against your grinder’s specifications before installation to ensure proper fit and operation.
