Cratex 6802 C Oblong Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Coarse

Product Description

The CRATEX 6802 C is a rubber-bonded silicon carbide abrasive stick in an oblong profile, designed for deburring, cleaning, and surface finishing on glass, metal, and stainless steel. It measures 1 inch wide, 0.25 inches thick, and 6 inches long, with a coarse grade that removes material quickly on harder surfaces. The rubber bond provides a degree of flexibility compared to vitrified sticks, allowing it to conform slightly to contours. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle for extended bench or field work. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and fabricators are the primary users of this type of stick.

This abrasive stick is suited for hand deburring and edge cleanup on metal parts, stainless steel fabrications, and glass edges. The oblong cross-section gives a flat working face for flat surfaces and a narrow edge for working in slots, grooves, and tight recesses. Coarse grade is appropriate when fast stock removal is needed before moving to finer finishing steps. It is commonly used at the bench alongside files and picks in metal fab shops, machine shops, and glass fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive for effective cutting on glass, metal, and stainless steel
• Rubber bond backing adds controlled flexibility for contour work
• Coarse grade for aggressive stock removal and fast deburring
• Oblong profile provides both a broad flat face and a narrow working edge
• Compact 6-inch length for handheld use at the bench or in the field

Compatibility

Designed for hand deburring and surface conditioning applications on glass, metal, and stainless steel. Compatible with standard abrasive stick holders where applicable.

Installation Notes

Abrasive sticks of this type are applied by hand or in a holder - no power tools required. When working on metal parts, secure the workpiece in a vise before applying the stick to maintain control. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves, as silicon carbide particles and metal debris are generated during use. Inspect the stick for cracks or unusual wear before each use and replace if the bond shows signs of deterioration.
