Cratex B52A36CXI 1/8 Mounted Point 36 Grit

Product Description

The CRATEX B52A36CXI 1/8 is an aluminum oxide mounted point designed for precision grinding, deburring, and surface finishing on metal and other hard materials. This pointed-profile abrasive tool features a B52 point shape with a 36 grit, very coarse grade, making it well-suited for aggressive stock removal and fast material shaping. The hard density construction supports consistent cutting action throughout the working life of the point. It mounts on a 1/8 inch shank and is rated for up to 21000 RPM, fitting standard die grinders and rotary tools used in fabrication, maintenance, and toolroom environments.

This mounted point is used in applications requiring controlled grinding in tight or contoured areas where larger wheels cannot reach. The B52 pointed geometry allows access to grooves, slots, weld seams, and internal radii. Typical users include machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The very coarse 36 grit rating prioritizes material removal rate over surface finish, positioning this point early in a multi-step grinding or finishing sequence.

Key Features

• B52 pointed shape for access to grooves, slots, and contoured surfaces
• 36 grit, very coarse aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive stock removal
• Hard density construction supports consistent cut rate and shape retention
• Rated to 21000 RPM for use with standard die grinders and rotary tools
• 1/8 inch shank diameter fits widely available collets and chucks
• Head thickness of 3/4 inch provides sufficient working surface for most grinding tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style abrasive mounted point for use with die grinders, flexible-shaft machines, and rotary tools accepting a 1/8 inch collet or chuck.

Installation Notes

This mounted point is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using the appropriate 1/8 inch collet on a die grinder or rotary tool. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 21000 RPM rating before operation. Inspect the mounted point for cracks or chips before mounting, and never use a damaged abrasive. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA abrasive safety guidelines during use.
