Merit Abrasives 08834173075 Abrasive Disc 36 Grit 15 in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834173075 is a 15-inch diameter PSA abrasive disc designed for use with stationary disc sanders. Built on a flexible cloth backing with aluminum oxide abrasive, this disc delivers aggressive material removal at 36 grit — a very coarse grade suited for rapid stock removal, weld cleanup, surface prep, and rough shaping on metal, wood, and composite materials. The pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) mount allows for fast disc changes without tools. At 0.5 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during disc swaps.

This disc is intended for stationary disc sander applications in fabrication shops, metal working environments, woodworking facilities, and general trade use. The PSAAO series aluminum oxide construction is a standard choice for high-stock-removal passes where surface finish is secondary to speed and efficiency. The flexible cloth backing conforms slightly under load, helping maintain consistent abrasive contact across the work surface. No vacuum holes are included, making it appropriate for solid-platen sander tables without dust extraction ports.

Installation Notes

Power down and lock out the sander before removing or installing any abrasive disc. Clean the platen surface of dust, debris, and adhesive residue before applying the new disc to ensure full adhesive contact and prevent premature separation. Peel the backing evenly and apply the disc from center outward to avoid air pockets. Inspect the disc for tears or delamination before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
