04 -- Why Choose this series
Series advantage
Why choose the AS3 Ceramic series
AS3 Ceramic
CGW AS3 ceramic aluminum oxide vitrified wheels are engineered for fast metal removal with reduced dressing frequency. The ceramic crystal structure fractures to expose fresh grinding points. CGW identifies AS3 for demanding grinding applications, particularly workpieces at 50 Rockwell C and harder. Match grit, grade, wheel profile and mounting dimensions to the surface grinding operation.
