The CGW 58017 is a 7-inch surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish on tool steels and hard alloys. Its PA-46J pink aluminum oxide grain combination provides a balance of durability and cutting efficiency, making it suitable for fast, cool cutting where heat sensitivity is a concern.
Constructed as a Type 5 wheel with a 1-inch face, 1-1/4 inch arbor/shank, and a 46-grit size, this wheel is optimized for controlled material removal while maintaining tight dimensional accuracy. The pink aluminum oxide formulation differentiates it from standard gray oxide wheels, offering improved wear resistance at light to moderate feed rates and better performance on hard materials compared to WA-based grades under similar conditions. Operating at up to 3,760 RPM, it is intended for grinding applications where both speed and stability are required for consistent surface finishes.
Typical use cases include sharpening and finishing tool steel components and other hard alloys where rapid material removal is beneficial without excessive heat buildup. When selecting wheels, ensure compatible arbor size and machine speed to match the 1-1/4" shank and 3,760 RPM rating. This product ships in a package quantity of 10 per box, so planning for replacement intervals and inventory is straightforward to manage in maintenance schedules.
