Merit Abrasives 08834167069 Quick-change Disc 2 in 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834167069 is a 2-inch quick-change abrasive disc designed for handheld disc sanders using a Power-Lock Type S (TS/Type II) attachment system. Built with zirconia alumina abrasive on a Y-weight polyester backing, this disc delivers aggressive stock removal at a medium-to-coarse 80 grit. The semi-open coat construction resists loading and promotes consistent cut, while the flexible, waterproof polyester backer conforms to contoured surfaces. Rated to 30,000 RPM, this disc is suited for high-speed grinding and blending tasks in fabrication and finishing environments. Licensed tradespeople in metalworking, welding, and general fabrication will find this disc well matched to daily production use.

This disc is intended for use on a broad range of materials including 300 and 400 series stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, hard and soft carbon steels, and hardwoods and softwoods. It is engineered for stock removal, weld blending, and deburring operations. The blue coated surface and cloth-backed construction are optimized for handheld disc sander applications where fast cutting and disc longevity are required. The coarse cutting action makes it appropriate for initial surface prep and scale removal before transitioning to finer grits.

Installation Notes

Disc mounting and removal should be performed with the tool unplugged or the air supply disconnected. Verify the spindle speed of the host tool does not exceed 30,000 RPM before operating. Inspect the disc for tears, gouges, or delamination before each use and replace if damaged. Proper eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating abrasive discs at high speed.
