Cratex 6801 Xf Oblong Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Extra Fine

Product Description

The CRATEX 6801 XF is a rubber-bonded silicon carbide oblong abrasive stick designed for precision deburring, honing, and surface conditioning on metal, stainless steel, and glass. At an extra fine grade, it removes light burrs, smooths edges, and refines surface finishes without aggressive stock removal. The stick measures 1 inch wide, 1/8 inch thick, and 6 inches long, making it well-suited for hand-held work in tight areas or on contoured surfaces. The rubber bond provides a degree of flexibility that helps the stick conform to irregular workpiece geometry, reducing the risk of over-cutting on sensitive materials.

This abrasive stick is used across metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where fine surface finishing is required. It is commonly applied to stainless steel components, glass edges, and precision metal parts. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die technicians, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals who need controlled, hand-applied abrasive work. The oblong profile fits narrow slots, keyways, and flat surfaces that standard round sticks cannot reach efficiently.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive material for effective cutting on hard metals and glass
• Extra fine grade for light deburring, edge refinement, and finish work
• Rubber backing bond provides flexibility and conformability to workpiece surfaces
• Oblong profile suits flat surfaces, slots, and narrow contoured areas
• Compact 6 inch length allows comfortable hand-held control
• Suitable for use on glass, metal, and stainless steel

Compatibility

Designed for hand-applied abrasive work on glass, metal, and stainless steel surfaces where an extra fine silicon carbide stick is appropriate.

Installation Notes

This product is hand-applied and requires no power tools 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 use for cracks or unusual wear that could cause breakage during application. Apply consistent, controlled pressure to avoid uneven surface contact on precision workpieces.
