The CGW 59024 is a 14-inch surface grinding wheel designed for heavy stock removal with a precise finish. This wheel uses RA - Ruby Aluminum Oxide as its grain, which is known for its sharp friable structure that maintains form under grinding pressure and delivers consistent material removal across the workpiece. With a 2-inch thickness and a 5-inch arbor/shank size, it is suitable for compatible surface grinders requiring these exact dimensions. The wheel is designated Type 5 and graded H, indicating a hard, durable wheel appropriate for demanding applications where control over shape and size is important.
Key construction details include a 46-grit RA ruby aluminum oxide formulation, which provides a balance between aggressive cutting action and the ability to achieve a precise finish on tool steels and steels with high chromium content. The combination of the grain type, hardness rating, and friable character helps maintain wheel shape while delivering reliable material removal. Operating at approximately 1910 RPM, this wheel is intended for compatible grinding equipment that can safely run at that speed and accommodate a 14" diameter wheel with a 2" thickness and a 5" arbor.
Typical use scenarios include rough grinding of tooling steels and other hard metals where both stock removal and a controlled final dimension are required. When selecting this wheel, verify that your grinder can accommodate the wheel’s dimensions (14" diameter, 2" thickness, 5" arbor) and that the machine’s RPM rating aligns with the wheel’s 1910 RPM specification. Ensure proper mounting and guard clearance, and follow standard safety practices for surface grinding operations. This product is packaged as a single wheel per package, and compatibility should be confirmed with your existing grinding setup to achieve the desired balance of speed, finish, and wheel life.
