Cratex W179A80CXG 1/4 Mounted Point 80 Grit Cylinder

Product Description

The CRATEX W179A80CXG 1/4 is a rubber-bonded mounted point designed for precision grinding, deburring, and surface finishing on metal and hard materials. Shaped in a cylinder profile (W179 point shape), this mounted point measures 1.25 inches in thickness and accepts a 0.25-inch shank, making it compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools. It carries an 80-grit abrasive rating at a medium grade with a soft density, offering controlled material removal with a smooth cutting action suited for detailed or contoured workpieces. Trades including tool and die, maintenance, and fabrication professionals use this type of abrasive point for interior bore work, weld cleanup, and fine contouring tasks.

This mounted point fits typical die grinder and rotary tool setups used in metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication shops. The cylinder shape (W179) is well-suited for working along flat surfaces, inside bores, and along straight edges where consistent contact across the full face of the point is needed. The 0.25-inch shank diameter is the most common size for handheld rotary and pneumatic die grinders, making this a straightforward drop-in abrasive for everyday shop use.

Key Features

• W179 cylinder point shape for consistent flat-face contact on bores and surfaces
• 80 grit, medium grade abrasive for general-purpose material removal and surface blending
• Soft density construction allows the abrasive to conform slightly to the workpiece, reducing gouging risk
• 1.25-inch head thickness provides extended service life between replacements
• 0.25-inch shank diameter fits the most common die grinder collet sizes
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without overstock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or direct-use mounted point for die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 0.25-inch shank collet. Verify maximum RPM rating of the tool against the mounted point before use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with rotary abrasive tooling. Power down and disconnect the die grinder before inserting or removing the mounted point. Tighten the collet securely to prevent shank slippage during operation. Always inspect the mounted point for cracks or damage before use, and confirm the tool RPM does not exceed the rated speed of the abrasive.
