The CGW 48020 is a 5-inch diameter fiber disc designed for heavy-duty grinding and finishing on steel. Its 7/8-inch arbor size fits compatible right-angle grinders and portable machines commonly used in facility maintenance and metalworking settings. The disc prioritizes long life and efficient stock removal while maintaining a cool cutting action, which helps minimize heat buildup during extended grinding sessions.
The construction features sharp, heat-treated aluminum oxide grain that is electrostatically coated onto a heavy-duty vulcanized fiber backing. This combination supports robust material removal with a balance of aggressiveness and durability, making it suitable for applications where frequent wheel changes would disrupt workflow. Each disc is rated for up to 12,200 RPM, aligning with typical performance specs for 5-inch fiber discs and the equipment they’re paired with. The product is supplied in a package of 25, which helps maintain inventory efficiency in shop or facility settings.
Use cases include deburring, edge radiusing, and surface finishing on mild to medium hardness steels where controlled heat generation and steady material removal are important. When selecting size and compatibility, verify that your grinder accepts 5-inch discs with 7/8-inch arbor and that the tool’s RPM rating supports up to 12,200 RPM to ensure safe and effective operation. Maintaining proper wheel alignment and using appropriate personal protective equipment remain essential for safe grinding practices.
