The CGW 58042 is a 14 inch diameter surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. It features a 1-1/2 inch thickness and a 5 inch arbor/shank size, making it suitable for grinders equipped to accept this wheel configuration. The wheel utilizes PA-46J pink aluminum oxide grain, which is known for robust performance on tool steels and some hard alloys, and is rated at a J hardness for controlled cutting action. With a rated RPM of 1910, it is intended for moderate to higher speed grinding applications while maintaining material integrity and surface finish requirements.
Constructed to deliver efficient material removal and a cooler cut compared to some alternatives, this wheel is positioned to assist in sharpening and grinding tool steel surfaces while managing heat generation on heat-sensitive workpieces. The pink aluminum oxide composition is selected to balance wear resistance with fracture toughness, supporting reliable performance across typical surface grinding tasks. The wheel’s specification details—14" diameter, 1-1/2" thickness, 5" arbor/shaft size, 46 grit, and T5 PA-46J designation—define its compatibility with compatible surface grinders and mounting configurations, helping users verify fit before purchase.
Practical use considerations include confirming machine compatibility with the 5" arbor, ensuring appropriate workholding and coolant practices to optimize wheel life, and selecting this wheel for applications requiring aggressive material removal while preserving dimensional accuracy. Package information indicates the wheel is sold as individual units, with two-pack quantities available, which can support bulk replacements or shop resupply planning. This product should be matched to compatible grinding equipment and job requirements based on the stated dimensions, grain type, and RPM to avoid under- or over-spinning and to achieve the intended finish quality.
