The CGW 49973 6" dia 100-grit gold aluminum oxide hook & loop sanding disc is designed for high-performance material removal on metal and similar substrates. Built with a tear-resistant carrier and a full phenolic bond, the disc supports a uniform scratch pattern and predictable cutting behavior across use. The stearated paper backing paired with heat-treated aluminum oxide grain and an open coat construction provides fast cutting action while extending disc life, making it suitable for repetitive sanding tasks where consistency matters.
Key features include a 6-inch diameter compatible hook-and-loop attachment for quick changes on standard rotary tools or sanders, and a 100 grit size that offers a balance between material removal and surface finish. The combination of an open coat and oxide grain helps maintain aggressiveness at the work surface while reducing loading, which can improve efficiency on smaller-radius contours and flat surfaces alike. The disc is identified by its CGW branding and is specified as a C-Weight grade, aligning with typical industrial sanding applications that require durable, rigid performance in a gold-weight formulation.
Practical use considerations include changing discs as wear zones develop to sustain consistent cut rates, and ensuring proper dust management in metalworking environments. The disc is sold individually, with packaging options listed as 100 per box, which supports bulk stocking for shops with frequent disc changes. Applicable equipment is determined by the 6" diameter and hook-and-loop interface, so verify fit with your sander or polisher prior to purchase.
