Merit Abrasives 08834181713 Cartridge Roll 50 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834181713 is a full taper cartridge roll designed for precision deburring, blending, and surface finishing in tight contours and internal bores. It is constructed with aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to a paper roll substrate, delivering consistent stock removal at a coarse 50 grit rating. The full taper profile allows the roll to conform gradually as it wears, maintaining contact across curved and angled workpiece surfaces. With a maximum roll diameter of 0.375 inches, this cartridge roll fits compact mandrels used in die grinders and drill presses. It is installed and used by machinists, fabricators, and metalworking technicians.

This cartridge roll is suited for metalworking applications including weld blending, bore finishing, and edge conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The coarse 50 grit grade makes it appropriate for aggressive material removal passes before transitioning to finer finishing steps. It is commonly used in production and job shop environments where small-diameter abrasive tooling is required for hard-to-reach areas on machined components, castings, and fabricated assemblies.

Key Features

• Full taper geometry maintains consistent surface contact as the roll wears down
• 50 grit coarse aluminum oxide abrasive for aggressive stock removal
• Maximum roll diameter of 0.375 inches fits standard small-mandrel tooling
• Aluminum oxide grain provides durability on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Paper roll construction compatible with standard cartridge roll mandrels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge roll for use with standard tapered mandrels sized for rolls up to 0.375 inches in diameter, as used in die grinders, air tools, and drill press setups common in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Cartridge rolls are installed by a machinist or metalworking technician onto a compatible tapered mandrel secured in a die grinder or rotary tool. Ensure the tool is powered off and disconnected from its air or electrical supply before changing rolls. Thread the roll fully onto the mandrel taper and verify it is seated firmly before resuming operation. Always operate within the maximum RPM rating of the mandrel and observe applicable shop safety guidelines for abrasive tooling.
