The CGW 48030 aluminum oxide fiber disc is designed for quick, efficient material removal on metal surfaces like steel, combining a 7-inch diameter with a 7/8-inch arbor to fit compatible grinders. This 16-grit brown fiber disc is built for heavy-duty stock removal while aiming to maintain a cooler cut, which can help minimize heat-affected zones during aggressive grinding tasks.
Construction details include sharp, heat-treated aluminum oxide grain electrostatically coated onto a heavy-duty vulcanized fiber backing. This combination supports durable cutting action and extended disc life under demanding shop conditions, where high-speed machining (up to 8600 RPM) is typical. The premium grain and backing material are chosen to balance aggressiveness with a level of toughness suitable for continuous operation on ferrous metals.
When planning use, select this 7" diameter disc for applications requiring substantial stock removal on steel surfaces, ensuring your grinding tool and guard are rated for the 8600 RPM operating range. The package configuration lists 25 discs per box, with each disc sold individually, which can influence stocking and replacement planning for maintenance workflows in facility operations. Proper mounting and consistent inspection of the fiber backing and abrasive grain are recommended to maintain performance and safety during use.
