CGW 53247 4-1/2" X 7/8" Type 27 Grey Very Fine Silicion Carbide Non-Woven Surface Preparation Wheel

CGW 53247 is a 4-1/2 inch diameter, 7/8 inch arbor Type 27 grey non-woven surface preparation wheel designed for blending, finishing, and rust or paint removal on metal surfaces. The wheel’s non-woven backing is impregnated with silicon carbide abrasive grains, creating a versatile tool for smoothing scratch patterns left by coated abrasives and for light deburring without aggressive material removal. Its compact backing helps minimize marking on the workpiece while still allowing the disc material to be used effectively for a softer, buff-like finishing action.

This wheel is suitable for use on steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals, making it a practical choice for facility maintenance, fabrication, and metal finishing applications where a controlled surface texture is desired. The silicon carbide grain provides a fine cutting action appropriate for blending and final finishing tasks, including removing welding or cutting discoloration on stainless steel. The wheel operates up to 11,000 RPM, which is typical for small- to medium-diameter non-woven wheels of this construction and size, enabling efficient material refinement while maintaining control over finishing pressure.

Compatible with standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders that accommodate a 7/8 inch arbor, this wheel is packaged as a single unit. Maintain consistency in finish by selecting the same wheel grade and type for successive passes and by applying even pressure across the workpiece. For best results, follow manufacturer recommendations for wheel speed and mounting to ensure proper balance and safe operation.
