Cratex 6802 M Oblong Abrasive Stick Silicon Carbide Medium

Product Description

The CRATEX 6802 M is a rubber-bonded silicon carbide oblong abrasive stick designed for precision deburring, cleaning, and surface conditioning on metal, stainless steel, and glass. Measuring 6 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.25 inches thick, this medium-grade stick combines silicon carbide abrasive with a flexible rubber backing that conforms slightly to irregular surfaces. The result is controlled material removal without aggressive gouging. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, fabricators, and finishing technicians keep these sticks on hand for touchup work where power tools are impractical or unsafe.

The 6802 M is suited for bench and hand-finishing applications in machine shops, metal fabrication facilities, and glass finishing operations. Its oblong profile provides a broad, flat contact face for flat surfaces while the narrow 0.25-inch thickness allows access to slots, keyways, and recessed areas. The rubber bond provides enough give to follow slight surface irregularities, making it a practical choice when working stainless steel weld seams, cleaning up burrs on machined parts, or conditioning glass edges.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive for effective cutting action on hard metals and glass
• Rubber backing material provides flexibility and surface conformability
• Medium grade balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• Oblong shape offers a broad flat face plus narrow edge access for slots and recesses
• Rated for use on glass, metal, and stainless steel
• Compact 6-inch length suits handheld and bench vise use

Compatibility

Designed for hand and bench deburring applications on glass, metal, and stainless steel workpieces where a flexible silicon carbide abrasive stick is required.

Installation Notes

No power tools or special mounting hardware are required for handheld use. When securing the workpiece, use an appropriate vise or fixture to maintain control during the stroke. Wear safety glasses and appropriate gloves when deburring metal or glass edges. Inspect the stick regularly for uneven wear and replace when the abrasive face becomes glazed or the rubber bond shows signs of deterioration.
