Merit Abrasives 08834172047 Psa Disc 6 Inch 50 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834172047 is a 6-inch pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) abrasive disc designed for aggressive material removal on a wide range of surfaces. It uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive material, rated at 50 grit for coarse-grade cutting action. The disc features a flexible cloth backing, which conforms to contoured surfaces and resists tearing under load. It is a peel-and-stick design, making mounting to compatible PSA backup pads fast and consistent. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians use this disc for weld blending, stock removal, and surface preparation tasks on metal and wood substrates.

This disc fits standard 6-inch PSA backup pads used in angle grinder and random orbital applications. The coarse 50-grit rating makes it well-suited for initial surface prep, heavy scratch removal, and rapid stock reduction before moving to finer finishing stages. The flexible cloth backing handles both flat and slightly curved workpieces without breaking down prematurely. No vacuum holes are included, so it is intended for solid backup pads rather than dust-collection systems. It ships as a single disc per package.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade and industrial professionals familiar with abrasive disc handling. Before mounting, confirm the backup pad surface is clean and free of adhesive residue from previous discs. Peel the liner from the PSA backing, center the disc on the pad, and press firmly to seat the adhesive. Inspect the disc for damage before use and never exceed the maximum RPM rating of the backup pad or grinder.
