Merit Abrasives 08834173162 20 in 24 Grit Sanding Disc

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834173162 is a 20-inch aluminum oxide sanding disc built for stationary disc sanders in heavy-duty material removal applications. Running a 24-grit rating, this disc falls into the very coarse grade category, making it suited for aggressive stock removal, surface leveling, and weld cleanup on wood, metal, and composite materials. The cloth backing adds flexibility and durability, allowing the disc to conform slightly under load without tearing. At 0.5 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable designed for fast changeover on the shop floor or job site.

This disc is designed for use on stationary disc sanders and is a common consumable in woodworking shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial finishing operations. The 20-inch diameter fits large-format disc sander platens typically found in production and cabinet shop environments. No vacuum holes are included, making it appropriate for solid platen configurations where dust extraction is handled separately. The black cloth backing is standard for this grade and application range.

Installation Notes

Power down and lockout the sanding machine before disc removal or installation.

Disc installation and equipment operation should follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety codes.
