CGW 49970 6" Dia 40-Grit Gold Aluminum Oxide Hook & Loop DWT 6Vac Sanding Disc

CGW 49970 6" Dia 40-Grit Gold Aluminum Oxide Hook & Loop DWT 6Vac Sanding Disc provides a durable, high-performance option for general purpose sanding on metal and other hard substrates. This 6-inch diameter disc utilizes a gold-weight tear-resistant backing and stearated paper to support a heat-treated aluminum oxide grain. The combination, bonded with a full phenolic system, is designed to produce a uniform scratch pattern while maintaining a fast-cutting action and extended disc life. The open-coat construction further enhances aggressiveness and longevity by delivering more readily available abrasive grains to the work surface, which can be beneficial for profiling, deburring, or material removal tasks.

This disc is engineered to fit hook-and-loop sanding systems and is specified as 40 grit with a C-weight hardness designation, indicating a stiffer backing appropriate for aggressive material removal with controlled conformability. Each disc is packaged individually, and the standard box quantity is 50 discs, making it practical for project-based workloads or ongoing maintenance tasks that require consistent availability. The 6" diameter and hook-and-loop attachment enable quick changes and reliable mounting on compatible sanding tools, supporting routine maintenance, fabrication, and metalworking activities where aluminum oxide grains are suitable.

When selecting abrasive discs, consider the material to be worked, desired cut rate, and disc life. For tasks requiring fast removal on relatively hard substrates with a need for steady life, this 40-grit, open-coat aluminum oxide disc offers a balance between aggressiveness and durability. Confirm compatibility with your sanding tool’s disc size and attachment system before use, and follow standard safety practices for dust control and personal protective equipment during operation.
