The CGW 59018 is a 12 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 size, making it suitable for machines configured to accept a 5 inch arbor. The wheel combines ruby aluminum oxide abrasive (RA) with a 46 grit, delivering a balance of high material removal and the ability to maintain form under heavy grinding actions. The J/K hardness designation indicates a range of resilience and rigidity appropriate for tool steels and other challenging materials, including steels with higher chromium content. This type of friable, sharp abrasive tends to provide a robust initial cut while supporting consistent finishing dimensions, which is important for maintaining tight tolerances in production settings.
