CGW 59010 8" x 1" x 1-1/4" T5 RA-46J ruby aluminum oxide surface grinding wheel is designed for precision material removal on ferrous metals with a focus on maintaining tight size tolerances. The wheel features RA - Ruby Aluminum Oxide abrasive, known for a sharp, friable grain that combines good form holding with robust material removal. Its 8-inch diameter with a 1-inch thickness and a 1-1/4 inch arbor size supports standard bench or pedestal grinding setups common in metalworking and maintenance shops.
This wheel is formulated for heavy stock removal while delivering a controlled, consistent finish, making it suitable for rough grinding of all tool steels, including steels with relatively high chromium content. The T5 type designation indicates a specific abrasive bond and structure used to balance cut rate with wheel life under typical shop conditions. The J grade denotes the hardness level, influencing how aggressively the wheel engages with the workpiece and how well it maintains its shape during grinding.
Considerations for use include verifying spindle and guard compatibility with an 8-inch wheel and ensuring appropriate RPM limits are observed; the listed RPM for this wheel is 3600. When selecting, confirm that the grain, hardness, and wheel size align with the material and the finish requirement of the job. This wheel is packaged as singles, with a box quantity of 10, which may influence stocking and inventory planning for maintenance operations.
