Cratex 6801 C Oblong Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Coarse

Product Description

The CRATEX 6801 C is an oblong abrasive stick made with silicon carbide abrasive bonded in a rubber backing. It measures 1 inch wide, 1/8 inch thick, and 6 inches long, and is rated coarse grade. The rubber bond delivers controlled cutting action with some flexibility, making it suitable for deburring, blending, and surface preparation on a range of materials. This type of abrasive stick is commonly used in metalworking, fabrication, and finishing trades where a shaped, hand-held abrasive is needed to reach tight areas or follow contours that conventional abrasives cannot access.

The 6801 C is well suited for work on glass, metal, and stainless steel surfaces. Its oblong profile allows it to be used in slots, grooves, bores, and flat surfaces. Fabricators, tool-and-die workers, machinists, and finishing technicians typically reach for this style of stick when cleaning up weld seams, removing burrs from edges, or conditioning a surface before inspection or assembly. The coarse grade removes material efficiently and is typically chosen for initial stock removal before progressing to finer grades.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive provides aggressive cutting on hard materials including glass and stainless steel
• Rubber backing adds slight flexibility and helps the stick conform to workpiece surfaces
• Coarse grade for efficient stock removal and deburring
• Oblong shape reaches slots, grooves, and contoured areas
• 6 inch length gives good hand-grip clearance during use
• Green color consistent with silicon carbide rubber-bond product line

Compatibility

Designed for use on glass, metal, and stainless steel. Suitable for hand deburring and surface conditioning applications where a shaped silicon carbide abrasive stick is required.

Installation Notes

This abrasive stick is a hand-applied tool and does not require power or mounting. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when using abrasive products. Apply consistent, controlled pressure to avoid uneven material removal. Keep the work area clear of debris and inspect the stick for wear or crumbling before each use.
