The CGW 52717 is a 5 inch diameter PSA sanding disc designed for fast material removal on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Built on a Y-Weight resin bond polyester cloth, this disc uses 60-grit zirconia grains to provide a balance of aggressive cutting action and extended life for marine, fabrication, and general metalworking applications. The PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) backing allows quick, tool-free attachment to compatible hubs, helping maintain consistent contact with the workpiece during grinding tasks.
Key features include a Z3 green zirconia composition optimized for heat generation and sustained cutting performance, plus an active filler in the bond that facilitates rapid material removal while reducing loading. The disc is formulated for a cool cutting action, which can help minimize heat buildup and preserve part temper in sensitive components. It is intended for use on flat surfaces and is suitable for stock removal and finishing when paired with appropriate grinding equipment and speed settings. The packaging specifies individual discs in a 50-count box, making it convenient for production environments that require steady supply of consumables.
When selecting this disc, verify compatibility with your grinder’s pad or hub size and ensure correct speed ratings for 5 inch PSA discs. Maintain clean backing and inspect the adhesive surface before mounting to ensure secure, square contact with the work surface. This product is categorized under Facility Maintenance and is suitable for operators seeking a balance between aggressive material removal and disc longevity on common metal substrates.
