The CGW 49032 1-1/2" x 3" x 3/8"-24 Type 18 A16R 16-Grit Aluminum Oxide Resin Plug is an abrasive-plug accessory designed for metal finishing in hard-to-reach areas. This resin-bonded plug utilizes aluminum oxide grain to provide consistent material removal on exterior surfaces, internal flutes, and recessed features where larger wheels or belts cannot reach. The Type 18 configuration and A16R grain grading indicate a right-angle, curved-edge form factor paired with a fine-to-medium 16-grit suspension, suitable for controlled shaping and surface refinement rather than aggressive stock removal.
Construction details reflect a resin bond and an aluminum oxide abrasive, which together deliver stable performance under higher RPM applications. The plug is sized with a 1.5-inch diameter and 3-inch length, and it attaches via a 5/8-11 arbor/shank, compatible with standard tool-posts or adapters used in compact grinding setups. The product is packaged as individual units, with a box quantity of 10, aligning with workshop or job-site stocking practices and ensuring that spare plugs are readily available for continued finishing work.
Common use contexts include finishing contoured profiles, deburring internal corners, and smoothing surfaces within narrow clearances where conventional wheels can’t reach. Practically, users should ensure correct mounting on compatible grinders or machines and verify RPM suitability—up to the 24,100 RPM range indicated for this specific abrasive plug—to avoid excessive heat buildup or chatter. While the data does not specify additional standards or certifications, the described grain, bond, and geometry provide a basis for selecting this plug when a 1-1/2" x 3" form factor and 16-grit aluminum oxide on a resin bond are appropriate for the task at hand.
