Arc Abrasives 73169 Shop Roll 180J Grit 2in X 50yd

Product Description

The ARC ABRASIVES 73169 is a 2-inch wide abrasive cloth shop roll that unwinds to 50 yards of tear-as-needed abrasive material. Graded at 180J grit, it delivers fine-finishing abrasion suited for deburring, light surface prep, and cleaning metal edges after cutting or machining. The cloth backing provides flexibility and tear resistance, making it practical for hand use or wrapping around a mandrel in confined spaces. Machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC technicians keep rolls like this on the bench for quick cleanup work between operations.

This shop roll is designed for burr removal on pipe ends, tubing, and small machined metal parts. It is well suited to trade environments where workers need a fast, no-waste abrasive that can be torn to length on the spot. Common applications include cleaning copper pipe ends before soldering, deburring conduit and EMT edges before termination, and smoothing rough cuts on sheet metal or structural members. The 50-yard length provides extended service life in high-use shop or service-van environments.

Installation Notes

No power tools or special installation is required for hand use. When using with a rotary mandrel or drum, ensure the arbor speed does not exceed the abrasive manufacturer's rated maximum for cloth rolls.
