Cratex 0106 M Round Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Medium

Product Description

The CRATEX 0106 M is a round abrasive stick designed for hand deburring, honing, and surface finishing across a range of materials including glass, metal, and stainless steel. Built with silicon carbide abrasive bonded in a rubber backing, this stick measures 5/8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length and is rated at a medium grade. The rubber bond provides a degree of flexibility and cushion not found in vitrified or resin-bonded sticks, allowing it to conform slightly to contours during use. Machinists, fabricators, and toolroom technicians reach for this type of stick for touch-up work, edge conditioning, and removing burrs left by cutting or grinding operations.

This abrasive stick is suited for bench work and hand-finishing applications in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. Its medium grade makes it appropriate for general-purpose material removal where a fine polish is not required but a smooth, burr-free edge is the goal. Typical uses include deburring drilled or tapped holes, cleaning up weld seams on stainless steel components, and light honing of flat or contoured surfaces on metal and glass parts. The compact 6-inch length gives good hand control for detail work.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive cuts effectively on glass, metal, and stainless steel
• Rubber backing material provides slight flexibility for contour work
• Medium grade balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• Round cross-section suits cylindrical bores, slots, and contoured edges
• 6-inch length allows comfortable hand grip and controlled strokes
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed for hand deburring and finishing applications on glass, metal, and stainless steel surfaces where a round abrasive stick profile is required.

Installation Notes

No power tools or machine mounting are required for this hand-applied abrasive stick. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when deburring metal or glass edges, as loose burrs and abrasive particles can cause injury. Apply light, consistent hand pressure and use straight or circular strokes suited to the workpiece geometry. Inspect the stick periodically for uneven wear and rotate grip position to maintain a consistent cutting surface.
