CGW 42702 is a 7-inch diameter Type 27 zirconia flap disc designed for aggressive material removal on ferrous metals. It features a premium zirconia alumina grain bonded to a poly/cotton backing, which provides a durable yet capable finish while promoting efficient stock removal. The zirconia concentration aids faster material removal compared to standard alumina, and the active grinding aid helps maintain cooler cutting action under light pressure, contributing to reduced heat buildup during extended grinding sessions.
This disc is built for heavy-duty and high-demand applications, making it suitable for quick grinding on steel where aggressive material removal is desired. The Type 27 profile enables versatile grinding angles on flat or contoured surfaces, while the 7/8 inch arbor/shank interface ensures compatibility with compatible grinders equipped for 7/8" tooling. With a 40 grit specification, it balances initial stock removal with a degree of surface finishing, suitable for rough shaping and deburring tasks where a moderate level of texture is acceptable.
Practical use considerations include selecting appropriate wheel speeds to match grinder capability and the nominal RPM rating of 8,600, which reflects the product’s performance characteristics. The disc is sold in boxed quantities of ten per package, aligning with maintenance and purchasing workflows that require multiple discs for ongoing projects. Always verify compatibility with your specific grinder and workpiece material prior to use, and adhere to standard safety practices for flap discs, including appropriate PPE and guarding.
