CGW 53248 4-1/2" X 5/8"-11 Type 27 Grey Very Fine Silicion Carbide Non-Woven Surface Preparation Wheel

CGW 53248 is a Type 27, grey, very fine silicon carbide non-woven surface preparation wheel designed for blending, finishing, and removing paint and rust from metal surfaces. This wheel combines a non-woven backing impregnated with silicon carbide grains to provide a blend-and-buff style finish while minimizing deep scratches on the workpiece. The compact backing helps reduce unintended contact with surrounding areas, enabling careful material removal and a smoother final appearance. The wheel is suitable for light deburring and cleaning tasks on a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous alloys.

With a 4-1/2 inch diameter and a 5/8-11 inch arbor, this wheel is oriented toward smaller, detail-oriented surface prep and finishing work. The very fine grain intensifies the polish and reduces visible scratching compared to coarser grades, making it appropriate for tasks where a refined surface is required prior to coating or further processing. Operating at up to 11,000 RPM, it offers controlled material removal for precision work while maintaining the forgiving nature of non-woven abrasives.

When selecting this wheel, consider its Type 27 profile, which is designed for surface blending on protruding or irregular shapes. Ensure proper matching of the arbor size to your tool or die grinder and follow standard safety practices for non-woven wheel usage, including guarding and personal protective equipment. This product is sold as Each.
