CGW 58046 14" X 2" X 5" T7 PA-46I 46-Grit Pink Aluminum Oxide Surface Grinding Wheel

CGW 58046 is a 14 inch diameter, 2 inch thick surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel uses PA - Pink Aluminum Oxide grain, categorized as Type 7, with a 46 grit size and an I hardness grade. The 5 inch arbor/shank size supports compatible machines that accept this bore configuration, and the wheel operates at up to 1910 RPM. The pink aluminum oxide abrasive is selected for sharpening and grinding tool steel and for achieving a fast, cool cut on heat-sensitive and hard alloy materials, which helps minimize thermal distortion during material removal. Compared with other aluminum oxide formulations, this wheel is noted for greater durability at light to moderate feed rates when used on tool steel and stainless steels, contributing to longer service life in suitable applications.

In practice, this wheel is suitable for surface grinding tasks where careful control of material removal and finishing quality is required. It is intended for applications involving tool steel and hard alloys that benefit from a cooler cutting action, helping reduce heat-affected zones on sensitive workpieces. When selecting this wheel, ensure the workpiece material, grinding depth, and feed rate align with its 46-grit PA Pink Aluminum Oxide composition and the wheel’s Type 7, cylindrical wheel geometry. The 14" x 2" x 5" size and 1910 RPM rating define its compatibility with compatible surface grinders and arbor arrangements, and the packaging is specified per unit.
