Cgw 48031 Aluminum Oxide Resin Fibre Disc 7in 24 Grit

Product Description

The CGW 48031 is an aluminum oxide resin fibre disc designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. The disc measures 7 inches in diameter with a 7/8-inch arbor hole and carries a 24-grit rating, making it well suited for rapid stock removal, weld blending, and surface preparation on steel and other ferrous metals. The resin bond holds abrasive grain firmly under heavy pressure, supporting consistent cut rates across the disc life. Each disc weighs approximately 0.15 pounds. The 48031 is sold in boxes of 25 discs, keeping job-site and shop inventory straightforward for high-volume users.

This disc is a standard tool for metal fabricators, welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general mechanical contractors who need fast, controlled grinding. The 7-inch format fits angle grinders and right-angle grinders configured for fibre disc use with a rubber or hard backing pad. The 24-grit cut is coarse, prioritizing speed of removal over finish quality, and is best applied early in a multi-stage grinding sequence before stepping to finer grits for surface conditioning or finishing work.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive grain for durable, consistent cutting action on ferrous metals
• 24-grit coarse rating for rapid stock removal and weld blending
• 7-inch diameter with 7/8-inch arbor hole fits standard angle grinder backing pads
• Resin fibre construction resists heat buildup and disc flex under load
• Sold in 25-disc boxes for convenient shop and job-site restocking

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard 7-inch angle grinders and right-angle grinders equipped with a compatible rubber or hard fibre disc backing pad rated for the disc diameter and arbor size.

Installation Notes

Disc mounting should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder and backing pad manufacturer guidelines. Confirm the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the disc maximum rated speed before mounting. Inspect the disc for cracks or damage before each use and discard any disc showing visible defects. Always use appropriate eye protection, a face shield, and hand protection when operating grinding equipment.
