The CGW 52749 12" Zirconia Y-Weight PSA sanding disc is designed for efficient material removal on metals, providing a fast-cutting option for stainless steel, steel, and aluminum surfaces. This disc uses a Zirconia grain on a Y-Weight resin bond polyester cloth, delivering sustained cutting action and extended life under typical industrial finishing conditions. The PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) back allows easy mounting to compatible backing pads, enabling quick changes during grinding tasks.
Key construction features include a 60-grit Zirconia grain and a Z3 formulation intended to balance aggressive stock removal with controlled heat generation. The disc is sized for 12" (304.8 mm) applications and is offered in a standard box quantity suitable for shop-wide stocking. The combination of active filler in the resin bond and the cloth substrate contributes to a cooler cutting action, which can help minimize thermal distortion and wear on both the disc and workpiece when used appropriately with proper grinding equipment.
Practical use considerations include selecting this disc for finishing and deburring operations on metal parts where fast material removal is desired without sacrificing disc life. Verify compatibility with your grinder’s RPM rating and backing pad system, and ensure the PSA backing is suitable for your setup. Packaging is sold as single discs in a 25-disc box quantity, aligning with bulk maintenance stocking needs.
