The CGW 48114 Zirconia Blue Fiber Disc is a 5-inch diameter abrasive disc designed for high-rate material removal on steel and stainless steel applications. Its 7/8-inch arbor size makes it compatible with standard right-angle grinders and fiber backing that supports vigorous grinding while maintaining disc integrity under heat-prone conditions. The 50-grit zirconia grain, combined with heat-treated aluminum oxide, delivers accelerated cutting action and improved heat resistance relative to traditional aluminum oxide discs.
The zirconia formulation features a controlled fracturing characteristic, which helps maintain a consistent cutting action across the life of the disc. This makes it suitable for blending welds and for applications requiring sustained performance on both ferrous and nonferrous materials, with a focus on surface finishing rather than aggressive stock removal. As with all high-grit zirconia fiber discs, operator technique and workpiece setup should prioritize stable contact and proper feed rate to maximize disc life and minimize heat buildup.
Compatibility and packaging details indicate it is sold as an individual disk with a box quantity of 25, suitable for shop or field use where multiple discs are needed for continuous work. Always confirm grinder compatibility with a 7/8-inch arbor and ensure appropriate PPE is used during grinding operations. The data provided aligns with standard 5-inch fiber discs used for metal finishing tasks and should be paired with compatible backing pads and guards to maintain safety and performance.
