Cratex 3802 M Oblong Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Medium

Product Description

The CRATEX 3802 M is a rubber-bonded silicon carbide abrasive stick in an oblong profile, designed for precision deburring, polishing, and surface finishing in shop and field applications. Measuring 3 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.25 inches thick, this stick delivers consistent medium-grade cutting action across a range of hard materials. The rubber bond cushions the abrasive grain against the workpiece, reducing the risk of gouging on sensitive surfaces while maintaining effective material removal. It weighs 0.4 pounds and is packaged individually as a single-unit item. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and metal fabricators rely on this format for controlled hand finishing where power tooling is impractical.

The 3802 M is suited for deburring and smoothing operations on glass, metal, and stainless steel. The oblong cross-section allows access to flat surfaces, shallow recesses, and edge profiles that round or square sticks cannot reach as cleanly. Medium grade provides a balance between stock removal and surface refinement, making it a practical choice for general maintenance, part preparation, and weld cleanup tasks in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive grain for effective cutting on hard and non-ferrous materials
• Rubber backing bond cushions grain contact and reduces surface damage risk
• Oblong profile accesses flat surfaces, edges, and shallow recesses
• Medium grade balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• Brown color indicates standard CRATEX rubber-bond compound
• Compact 3-inch length suits hand-held deburring and bench work

Compatibility

Designed for hand finishing applications on glass, metal, and stainless steel surfaces where controlled abrasion is required.

Installation Notes

This abrasive stick is used by hand or in a holder without power tooling. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when deburring sharp metal edges. Work in a well-ventilated area when finishing stainless steel or using on glass. Apply consistent, even pressure across the workpiece to prevent uneven wear on the stick face.
