Tru-maxx T5-7W31247-T Surface Grinding Wheel 46 Grit

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX T5-7W31247-T is a Type 5 surface grinding wheel designed for precision stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive and a vitrified bond, this wheel delivers consistent, repeatable cuts in surface grinding applications. At 7 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole, it mounts to standard surface grinders without adapters. The 46-grit coarse grade removes material quickly, making it well suited for rough grinding and stock reduction passes. A one-side recess measuring 2-3/4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch deep provides clearance geometry consistent with the Type 5 wheel profile.

This wheel is intended for use on horizontal-spindle surface grinders in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and toolroom environments. The aluminum oxide grain at H hardness with a grain structure rating of 6 strikes a balance between wheel wear and cut rate for general-purpose surface grinding on steel and similar materials. Specification designation 23A46H6V31 identifies the exact formulation for procurement and replacement matching. This wheel is typically installed and operated by machinists or tool and die professionals familiar with surface grinder setup and wheel dressing procedures.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive with vitrified bond for consistent cut geometry and easy dressing
• Type 5 wheel profile with one-side recess for clearance on compatible spindle flanges
• 46-grit coarse grade suited for rapid stock removal on steel and ferrous materials
• H hardness code with semi-friable grain provides controlled wheel breakdown and sharp cutting action
• Rated to 3600 RPM maximum operating speed
• Non-porous construction maintains wheel integrity under coolant and dry grinding conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitment for horizontal-spindle surface grinders accepting a 7 inch diameter, 1 inch thick, Type 5 wheel with a 1-1/4 inch arbor hole.

Installation Notes

Surface grinding wheels must be installed and dressed by qualified machinists or trained personnel following ANSI B7.1 safety standards for the use, care, and protection of abrasive wheels. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips using the ring test before installation, and never exceed the maximum rated RPM of 3600. Ensure the spindle flanges are clean and properly sized before tightening to avoid uneven clamping stress on the wheel.
