The CGW 49040 is a resin-bonded abrasive plug designed for grinding and finishing metals in tight or hard-to-reach areas. This plug features aluminum oxide grain, selected for its balanced hardness and durability when used on metal surfaces, enabling material removal and surface refinishing in confined spaces.
Constructed with an 1-1/2 inch diameter, a 3 inch length, and a 5/8-11 arbor/shank, the Type 18R A16R specification identifies the plug’s configuration and graded hardness suitable for finishing applications. The 16-grit size provides a relatively coarse abrasive action appropriate for workloads that require material removal, while the R hardness rating indicates a specific bond and wear characteristics tailored to metalworking tasks. The plug runs at high RPMs, up to 24,100 RPM, which supports efficient material removal when mounted on compatible grinding equipment. Each order unit is an individual piece, with a typical package of 10 units per box.
This product is suited for users performing high-precision grinding in restricted access zones, such as fillets, welds, joints, or contours where standard wheels cannot reach. When selecting this plug, confirm compatibility with the 5/8-11 arbor size on your grinder or tool to ensure proper fit and safe operation. Regular inspection for wear and adherence to manufacturer torque and speed guidelines will help maintain consistent performance and minimize risk during use.
