Cratex 5 Mandrel Abrasive Point Mandrel 1/8 Inch Shank

Product Description

The CRATEX 5 MANDREL is a shank-style mandrel designed to mount small abrasive wheels for use with rotary tools and die grinders. It accepts wheels with a 0.125 inch center hole and fits tools with a 0.125 inch collet or chuck. Rated to 25,000 RPM, it handles high-speed grinding, deburring, and surface finishing work in metal fabrication, tool-and-die, and maintenance applications. The compact design allows access to tight spaces where larger tooling cannot reach. Installers and machinists pair this mandrel with compatible small abrasive wheels to complete precision grinding tasks.

This mandrel is intended for use with small abrasive wheels in rotary tool or die grinder setups. It is well suited for bench-top or handheld grinding operations in metal shops, production environments, and maintenance facilities. The 0.125 inch shank fits standard collets commonly found on rotary tools and pneumatic or electric die grinders used across manufacturing and trade applications.
