Merit Abrasives 08834172019 Psa Disc 5 in 60 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834172019 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) abrasive disc designed for surface grinding, blending, and finishing applications. The disc measures 5 inches in diameter and uses aluminum oxide abrasive at 60 grit, a medium-grade cut suited for material removal and surface preparation on metal, wood, and composites. It features a flexible cloth backing that conforms to contoured surfaces and holds up under moderate to heavy sanding pressure. Licensed tradespeople and finish technicians typically use this disc with PSA-compatible random orbital or disc sanders in production or maintenance environments.

This disc is appropriate for both residential and light commercial shop work where consistent stock removal and surface prep are required. The flexible cloth backing makes it well suited for curved or irregular workpieces where a rigid backing would skip or chatter. At 60 grit, it performs best as a first-pass or intermediate cut before stepping up to finer grits. No vacuum holes are included, so this disc pairs with solid-face PSA backing pads rather than hook-and-loop or vacuum-assist configurations.

Key Features

• 5-inch diameter fits standard PSA disc sanders and compatible backing pads
• 60 grit aluminum oxide abrasive provides medium-grade material removal
• Flexible cloth backing conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive mount for quick disc changes without tools
• No vacuum holes — designed for solid-face PSA backing pads
• Black disc color for easy grit identification in multi-grit workflows

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch solid-face PSA backing pads on standard disc sanders and random orbital tools configured for PSA-style abrasive discs.

Installation Notes

Ensure the backing pad face is clean and free of debris before applying the disc — contamination reduces PSA adhesion and can cause disc separation during use. Align the disc centered on the pad and press firmly across the entire surface to activate the adhesive bond. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing any abrasive disc. Discard discs that show signs of loading, tearing, or loss of abrasive grain.
