The CGW 58028 7" X 1" X 1-1/4" T5 PA-46J 46-Grit Pink Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel is built for heavy stock removal with a precise finish, suitable for sharpening and grinding tool steel. Its pink aluminum oxide grain and T5 PA-46J designation indicate a formulation and shape optimized for robust material removal while maintaining control over the grinding process. This wheel is designed to provide reliable performance on heat-sensitive and hard alloys when a fast, cool cut is desired, helping to minimize thermal impact on the workpiece during grinding operations.
Constructed as an 8" diameter wheel with a 1-1/4" arbor and a 1" thickness, the wheel is rated for high-speed operation up to 3600 RPM. The 46-grit PA pink aluminum oxide grain is chosen to balance material removal rate with a finished surface texture, making it suitable for applications where both removal efficiency and a controlled surface finish are important. The T5 type and production specifics are integral to its compatibility with compatible grinding machines and setups that accept 7" wheels of this size and configuration.
Practical use considerations include ensuring the grinding setup respects the wheel’s RPM rating and arbor size, and selecting appropriate flood cooling or dry grinding based on the material. The package is listed as “Each” with a common box quantity of 10, aligning with typical stocking and replacement cycles in maintenance, repair, and operations environments. This wheel is applicable to facility maintenance tasks involving tool steel and hard alloys where moderate to high stock removal is required without excessive heat buildup.
