Merit Abrasives 08834167062 Quick-change Disc 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834167062 is a 1-1/2 inch quick-change abrasive disc designed for handheld disc sanders in demanding metalworking and woodworking applications. Built on a Y-weight polyester backing with a semi-open coat of zirconia alumina, this 80-grit medium-coarse disc delivers aggressive stock removal while resisting heat and wear. The Power-Lock Type 2 (Type S) attaching system allows fast, tool-free disc swaps. Rated to 30,000 RPM, it is suited for high-speed grinding tasks performed by fabricators, welders, and finishing tradespeople working in metal shops, production floors, or field environments.

This disc is engineered for use on a broad range of materials including 300 and 400 Series stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, hard and soft carbon steels, hard woods, and soft woods. It is well matched to weld blending, deburring, and surface prep tasks where consistent cut rate and disc longevity matter. The flexible backing conforms lightly to contoured surfaces, and the waterproof polyester construction holds up in wet or coolant-assisted grinding conditions. Compatible with handheld disc sanders using the TS Type II quick-change interface.

Installation Notes

Installation and disc changes are typically performed by metal fabricators, welders, or finishing technicians. Before mounting the disc, confirm the tool is powered off and unplugged or the air supply is disconnected. Verify the spindle speed rating of the tool does not exceed the 30,000 RPM disc maximum. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and do not use a disc that is torn, warped, or delaminated.
