Merit Abrasives 08834172044 Psa Disc 6 Inch 24 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834172044 is a 6-inch PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) abrasive disc designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It uses an aluminum oxide abrasive grain rated at 24 grit, placing it in the very coarse grade category. The cloth backing provides flexibility and durability under high-load grinding conditions. This disc is built for stationary and portable disc sanders used in fabrication shops, metalworking environments, and woodworking operations. Technicians and tradespeople who need fast stock removal in preparation for welding, shaping, or surface conditioning will find this disc suited for that work.

This PSA disc is intended for use on 6-inch disc sanders and grinders equipped with a PSA backing pad. The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows for quick disc changes without hardware. The very coarse 24-grit rating makes it best suited for initial material removal, rust stripping, weld seam grinding, and aggressive surface preparation rather than finishing work. The flexible cloth backing conforms to slightly irregular surfaces, extending contact and improving cut rate. No vacuum holes are included, so this disc is intended for non-dust-collection setups or machines without hole patterns.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter fits standard PSA disc sanders and backing pads
• 24 grit, very coarse grade for fast, aggressive stock removal
• Aluminum oxide abrasive grain for use on metal, wood, and composites
• Flexible cloth backing conforms to surface contours and resists tearing
• PSA adhesive backing for tool-free, quick-change disc installation
• No vacuum holes — designed for solid backing pad use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch PSA backing pads on disc sanders, angle grinders, and finishing machines configured for pressure-sensitive adhesive discs without vacuum hole patterns.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a clean, dry PSA backing pad — oil, dust, or residue on the pad will reduce adhesion and cause disc slippage under load. Power down and disconnect the tool before changing discs. Peel the liner from the adhesive side and center the disc firmly onto the backing pad, pressing evenly to seat the adhesive. Discard discs that show cracking, glazing, or separation at the backing layer.
