Merit Abrasives 08834173051 Sanding Disc 12 in 120 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834173051 is a 12-inch aluminum oxide sanding disc built for stationary disc sanders used in woodworking, metalworking, and general fabrication shops. The disc runs at 120 grit, a medium grade that removes material efficiently while leaving a surface ready for finer finishing passes. Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers consistent cut and durability across wood, plastics, and light metals. The cloth backing provides flexibility, allowing the disc to conform slightly under load without tearing, which extends working life compared to paper-backed alternatives.

This disc is intended for use on stationary disc sanders in shop environments. At 12 inches in diameter, it fits the full-size bench and floor-standing disc sanders common in production shops, cabinet shops, and metal fabrication facilities. The flexible cloth backing makes it suitable for both flat stock and contoured workpiece edges. No vacuum holes are included, so it is matched to solid-platen machines rather than dust-collection platens. One disc is packaged per unit.

Installation Notes

Disc installation is typically performed by shop operators or maintenance staff. Before changing a sanding disc, power down the machine and allow the platen to come to a complete stop. Remove the worn disc and clean any adhesive residue from the platen surface before applying the new disc to ensure full, even contact. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines for adhesive type and platen preparation.
