Cratex 12 C Rubberized Abrasive Taper Point 240 Grit

Product Description

The CRATEX 12 C is a rubberized abrasive point designed for precision deburring, blending, and surface finishing on metal and hard materials. This unmounted taper-shaped point uses silicon carbide abrasive in a coarse grade at 240 grit, bonded in a rubber matrix that provides a semi-flexible cutting action. The point measures 0.375 inches maximum diameter by 0.875 inches in overall length and accepts a 1/8-inch arbor for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and flexible shaft machines. A maximum operating speed of 25,000 RPM makes it suitable for high-speed finish work without mounted shanks.

Rubberized abrasive points like the 12 C are used in tool and die shops, maintenance shops, and metal fabrication environments where controlled, fine-contact finishing is required. The taper profile allows access into bores, chamfers, ports, and recessed areas. Typical applications include deburring cast or machined metal parts, cleaning weld zones, and blending surface transitions. This point is sold unmounted and is intended to be chucked directly into a collet or mandrel. The package quantity is 100 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and flexible shaft machines equipped with a 1/8-inch collet or mandrel. No specific OEM equipment compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, tool and die technicians, or metalworkers using standard rotary equipment. Secure the unmounted point firmly in a 1/8-inch collet before use and verify the tool speed does not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum rating. Inspect the abrasive point for cracks or deterioration before each use and do not use a damaged point. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn at all times when operating abrasive tooling.
