Cratex B122A36CXI 1/8 Mounted Point 36 Grit Ball Shape

Product Description

The CRATEX B122A36CXI 1/8 is a ball-shaped mounted point designed for precision grinding, deburring, and surface finishing on metal, ceramics, and hard materials. It uses aluminum oxide abrasive at 36 grit, placing it in the very coarse grade range, which removes material aggressively and is suited for rapid stock removal or heavy surface conditioning. The hard density construction holds the abrasive bond firmly during high-speed rotary use. The 1/8 inch shank fits standard die grinders, rotary tools, and flex-shaft machines commonly used by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians.

This mounted point is used in applications requiring controlled grinding in confined or contoured areas where larger abrasive wheels cannot reach. Typical scenarios include internal bore work, weld seam cleanup, mold and die finishing, and casting flash removal. The ball shape allows contact on curved and concave surfaces. It is appropriate for both bench-mounted rotary tools and handheld die grinders in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and machine repair environments.

Key Features

• Ball shape (B122) for grinding curved, concave, and contoured surfaces
• 36 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive, very coarse material removal
• Hard density bond maintains abrasive integrity under sustained rotary load
• 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard die grinders and rotary tool chucks
• Compact form factor accesses confined areas and internal geometries

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use mounted point for die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/8 inch shank collet.

Installation Notes

Mounted points are installed and removed by a licensed machinist or qualified technician using the appropriate collet wrench for the rotary tool or die grinder. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before changing mounted points. Confirm the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the mounted point RPM rating before operation. Do not apply side-loading force beyond what the ball geometry is designed to bear, as this can cause premature wear or shank failure.
