CGW 34149 11-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 8" AS3-36-E 36 Grit Ceramic Surface Grinding Segment

The CGW 34149 is a high-performance ceramic surface grinding segment designed for fast metal removal on grinding applications. Sized at 11-1/4 inches in diameter with a 2-1/4 inch thickness and an 8 inch arbor/shank interface, this AS3-36-E grade segment targets demanding material removal while maintaining sustained cutting efficiency. Its ceramic AS3 grain is known for fracture-prone, submicron crystal structures that continually form sharp grinding points, helping to shorten dressing intervals and improve overall productivity on tough materials.

Constructed as a Cortland-shaped segment with a 36 grit, this product aims to deliver consistent material removal on hard workpieces, including materials around Rockwell C 50 and above. The combination of ceramic grain and engineered microstructure supports rapid grinding with controlled wear characteristics, which can translate to more predictable finishing performance and lower downtime for dressing, depending on the application and setup.

Practical use of this segment involves compatible grinding equipment that accepts a 8"-diameter axial segment with the specified form factor. Users should verify their machine’s arbor compatibility and the engagement length to ensure proper seating and balance during operation. This item is packaged as individual segments, with a box quantity of 5 per shipment, suitable for stocking in maintenance or production support inventories to support repetitive or high-volume grinding tasks.
