CGW 49033 1-1/2" X 3" X 5/8"-11 Type 18 A16R 16-Grit Aluminum Oxide Resin Plug

The CGW 49033 aluminum oxide resin plug is a grinding accessory designed for metal finishing in hard-to-reach areas. It features a 1-1/2 inch diameter and 3 inch length with a 5/8-11 arbor/shank, making it compatible with standard threaded systems. The abrasive is Aluminum Oxide and the grit is 16, with a Type 18 configuration and a hardness rating (R) that informs its wear resistance and finishing characteristics. This combination is tailored for applications requiring aggressive material removal in confined spaces while still offering a finish-grade capability, suitable for technicians selecting tools for detailed surface work.

The plug’s 16-grit aluminum oxide grain provides a balance between cutting speed and surface refinement, which can be advantageous when attempting to blend edges, remove superficial marks, or shape metal surfaces in restricted geometries. A resin bond helps maintain wheel integrity under typical shop machining conditions, supporting stable performance across moderate spindle speeds up to 24,100 RPM as specified for this product variant. The packaging indicates a boxed quantity of 10 per unit, facilitating turnkey stocking for maintenance operations.

When considering use, verify compatibility with your tool’s arbor thread and ensure proper mounting to maintain balance and reduce vibration during operation. This item is positioned for facility maintenance tasks that involve grinding and finishing metals in tight spaces where larger abrasives cannot reach. Adhering to safe grinding practices and the tool manufacturer’s guidelines will help maximize efficiency and control during use.
