Merit Abrasives 08834173021 10in 100 Grit Abrasive Disc

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834173021 is a 10-inch aluminum oxide abrasive disc designed for use with stationary disc sanders. Running at 100 grit, this medium-grade disc handles stock removal, surface leveling, and finish preparation on wood, metal, and composite materials. The cloth backing provides flexibility, allowing the disc to conform to slight surface irregularities without tearing under load. At 0.5 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to stage and swap during production runs. No vacuum holes are included, making it suited for solid-platen stationary sanders without dust-extraction ports. Trade professionals and production shops rely on this disc for consistent, repeatable results across high-cycle grinding and sanding operations.

This disc is intended for use on stationary disc sanders in shop and production environments. The 10-inch diameter fits standard stationary disc sander platens common in woodworking shops, metal fabrication facilities, and general maintenance settings. The cloth backing and flexible construction allow the disc to seat flat against the platen and maintain contact across the full working surface. Medium grit makes it a practical choice for intermediate material removal where coarse grits would leave too deep a scratch pattern and fine grits would load prematurely.

Installation Notes
