Merit Abrasives 08834173044 Abrasive Disc 12in 24 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834173044 is a 12-inch aluminum oxide abrasive disc built for aggressive material removal on stationary disc sanders. At 24 grit, this disc falls in the very coarse grade range, making it well-suited for rapid stock removal, shaping, and surface preparation on wood, metal, and composite materials. The cloth backing provides flexibility and durability under the heat and friction generated during heavy-duty sanding operations. Weighing 0.5 pounds, it is a straightforward replacement or consumable stocking item for any shop running 12-inch disc sanding equipment.

This disc is designed for use on stationary disc sanders with a 12-inch platen. It is a common consumable in woodworking shops, metal fabrication facilities, and general maintenance environments where fast, aggressive cutting action is needed. The black cloth-backed construction holds up to demanding sanding cycles better than paper-backed alternatives, and the flexible design conforms slightly to the work surface for consistent contact. No vacuum holes are included, so it is intended for solid platen use without dust extraction ports.

Installation Notes

Mounting this disc to a stationary sander platen typically requires a compatible adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive backing appropriate for the platen surface — confirm the attachment method before mounting. Power down and lock out the sander before removing a worn disc or installing a new one. Inspect the platen surface for debris or old adhesive buildup before mounting to ensure flat, even contact across the full disc face. Discard any disc showing signs of tearing, delamination, or uneven wear.
