CGW 49985 5" Dia 40-Grit Gold Aluminum Oxide Hook & Loop DWT 8Vac Sanding Disc

The CGW 49985 5" Dia 40-Grit Gold Aluminum Oxide Hook & Loop DWT 8Vac Sanding Disc is a high-performance disc designed for durable material removal and surface finishing in facility maintenance settings. It combines a robust tear-resistant body with stearated paper and heat-treated aluminum oxide grain to deliver a consistent scratch pattern and reliable cut across the workpiece. The full phenolic bond system enhances grain adhesion, helping the disc resist peeling during extended use while maintaining a uniform scratch profile typical of open-coat formulations.

Construction features emphasize fast cutting and long service life, aided by the open-coat design that promotes dust clearance and reduced glazing. This 5-inch diameter, 40-grit disc attaches via a hook-and-loop (H&L) backer, supporting easy mounting and quick changes on compatible grinding tools. The combination of aluminum oxide grain and weight class information indicates a balance of aggressiveness and durability suitable for shaping, deburring, and initial surface refinement on many metals and compatible materials.

Typical use cases include preparation work on metal surfaces and rough to medium-finishing tasks where quick material removal is desired without sacrificing stability. When selecting discs, ensure compatibility with your backing pad and a hook-and-loop system, and note the 5-inch diameter and 40-grit size to match your tool’s disc diameter and finish requirements. Packaging is listed as individual discs with box quantities, which supports mixed or bulk purchases for maintenance inventories.
