CGW 49961 5" Dia 180-Grit Gold Aluminum Oxide Hook & Loop DWT 5Vac Sanding Disc is designed for general purpose surface preparation on metal and similar substrates. This 5-inch sanding disc uses a gold-weight, tear-resistant backing and a full phenolic bond with heat-treated aluminum oxide grain. The stearated paper construction with an open coat coating promotes a fast-cutting action and a longer wheel-life by reducing loading, delivering a consistent scratch pattern under routine grinding conditions. The hook-and-loop (H&L) attachment system allows quick disc changes and secure pad engagement for reliable performance across multiple uses.
Key construction details include a 180-grit aluminum oxide grain combined with a C-weight backing, engineered to balance flexibility, firmness, and cut rate for typical fabrication and maintenance tasks. The open coat approach exposes more grain to the workpiece, supporting faster material removal while maintaining control and surface finish. This disc is intended for handheld or machine-driven sanding applications where a 5-inch diameter is compatible with standard backing pads and orbital or straight-line sanders.
Practical considerations for use include checking compatibility with your sander’s backing pad (5" diameter) and ensuring proper disc seating to avoid edge lifting or wobble. The package is specified as a single-disc product in this description, with the potential for bulk like box quantities depending on procurement. For best results, follow standard safety practices and observe any material-specific recommendations from your equipment manufacturer. This data reflects the documented construction and intended use of the CGW49961 disc and does not extrapolate beyond the supplied specifications.
