Cratex 046 C Round Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Coarse

Product Description

The CRATEX 046 C is a round abrasive stick designed for hand-finishing, deburring, and surface conditioning work across a range of materials. Built with silicon carbide abrasive bonded in a rubber backing, this stick delivers a coarse cutting action that removes burrs, oxidation, and surface defects efficiently. It measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, making it easy to grip and control during close-tolerance work. The rubber bond provides a degree of flex, allowing the stick to conform slightly to contoured or irregular surfaces. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and manageable for extended use.

This abrasive stick is suited for hand-finishing applications on glass, metal, and stainless steel surfaces. It is commonly used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians for deburring edges, cleaning up weld seams, and conditioning surfaces prior to inspection or coating. The coarse grade makes it most appropriate for initial material removal rather than final polishing stages. Its compact round profile allows access to slots, bores, and recessed areas where larger abrasive tools cannot reach.

Installation Notes

This abrasive stick is a hand-held tool requiring no power source or mounting hardware. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when using abrasive sticks on metal or glass. Inspect the stick before each use for cracks or unusual wear. Do not apply excessive lateral pressure, as this can cause the stick to fracture.
