The CGW 48044 is a 9-inch diameter fiber disc designed for high stock removal and cool cutting on steel. It features a heavy-duty vulcanized fiber backing with sharp, heat-treated Aluminum Oxide grain that is electrostatically coated to support durable performance and prolonged tool life. This construction aims to balance aggressive material removal with controlled heat generation, helping to maintain workpiece integrity during grinding tasks.
Key construction details include a 50-grit Aluminum Oxide abrasive and an arbor/shank size of 7/8 inch, enabling compatibility with standard 9-inch grinding systems. The grain is applied to a brown fiber backing to provide the appropriate balance of flexibility and rigidity for disc-driven grinding applications. The disc is designed to operate at up to 6,600 RPM, which informs appropriate spindle speed selection for safe and effective use. Each unit is packaged individually or in boxed quantities as specified, with a part number CGW48044 to ensure accurate replenishment and inventory control.
Suitable use cases include general-purpose material removal and finishing on ferrous metals where aggressive grinding is required without excessive heat buildup. Practically, users should verify compatibility with their disc mandrel and grinding equipment, ensure correct RPM settings, and replace discs when wear or glazing is observed. Maintaining clean, flat grinding surfaces and inspecting the backing and grit adhesion helps optimize performance and safety during routine maintenance and fabrication tasks.
