Cratex 036 M Round Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Medium

Product Description

The CRATEX 036 M is a round abrasive stick designed for precision hand deburring, blending, and finishing work on metal, stainless steel, and glass surfaces. Built with silicon carbide grain bonded in a rubber backing, it delivers consistent cutting action with a degree of flexibility that rigid abrasive stones cannot match. The round profile measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, making it well-suited for working in slots, bores, keyways, and other confined areas. The medium grade provides a balance between material removal and surface finish. Machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators rely on this format for bench work and in-field touch-up tasks.

This abrasive stick is used across metal fabrication, tool and die, aerospace component finishing, and glass work applications. Its rubber-bonded construction allows it to conform slightly to irregular surfaces, which is useful when cleaning up weld spatter, removing burrs from drilled holes, or refining edges on stainless steel parts. The compact 6-inch length fits standard hand use without additional tooling. It is equally applicable in production shop environments and field service scenarios where a portable, single-use abrasive tool is needed.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive grain for effective cutting on hard materials including stainless steel and glass
• Rubber backing provides slight flex, allowing the stick to conform to irregular or curved work surfaces
• Round profile at 3/16 inches diameter fits narrow slots, bores, and keyways
• 6-inch overall length for comfortable hand control without additional holders
• Medium grade balances stock removal with surface finish quality
• Brown color coding identifies grade for quick selection at the bench

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This abrasive stick is used by hand without power tooling. Secure the workpiece before use to prevent movement during deburring or finishing passes. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when working with abrasives on metal or glass. Inspect the stick before each use and discard if cracking or uneven wear is observed.
