Cgw 48026 Aluminum Oxide Resin Fibre Disc 80 Grit 25 Pack

Product Description

The CGW 48026 is an aluminum oxide resin fibre disc designed for aggressive material removal on metal, weld seams, and surface preparation applications. Built on a vulcanized fibre backing, these discs mount to a standard right-angle grinder fitted with a rubber backing pad and are a go-to consumable for fabricators, ironworkers, and pipefitters who need consistent stock removal without burning the workpiece. Each disc measures 5 inches in diameter with a 7/8-inch arbor hole and cuts at 80 grit, placing it firmly in the medium-to-coarse range suited for blending welds, removing mill scale, and feathering edges before finishing passes.

These discs are used across structural steel fabrication, pipe fitting, shipbuilding, and general metalworking shops. The 80-grit aluminum oxide grain provides a balance of cut rate and surface finish appropriate for ferrous metals and hard alloys. They are sold in boxes of 25 discs, making this SKU practical for job-site stocking or shop inventory where consistent replenishment of grinding consumables is required. Typical users include welding contractors, maintenance crews, and metal fabrication shops running production grinding operations.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive grain for durable, consistent cutting action on ferrous metals
• 80-grit designation suits weld blending, scale removal, and pre-finish surface prep
• 5-inch diameter with 7/8-inch arbor hole fits standard right-angle grinder backing pads
• Resin fibre construction resists heat buildup and flexes slightly to follow contours
• 25 discs per box for efficient job-site or shop inventory management

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch right-angle grinders equipped with a compatible rubber or plastic backing pad accepting a 7/8-inch arbor attachment.

Installation Notes

Installation of fibre discs requires a matched rubber backing pad rated for the disc diameter. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing a disc. Inspect each disc for cracks or damage before use and confirm the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the disc rating. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during grinding operations per ANSI and OSHA standards.
