Merit Abrasives 08834181723 Cartridge Roll 3/8 in 50 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834181723 is a full taper cartridge roll designed for precision grinding and finishing in tight contours, slots, and irregular surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive at 50 grit, this coarse-grade roll removes stock quickly and levels surface irregularities efficiently. With a maximum diameter of 3/8 inches, it fits standard mandrels used in die grinders and right-angle rotary tools. This type of cartridge roll is a staple for metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need controlled material removal in areas that flat abrasives cannot reach.

Full taper cartridge rolls like this one are used in deburring, weld blending, and surface preparation on metal components. The coarse 50 grit rating makes this roll suited to initial stock removal and rough shaping rather than fine finishing passes. Common applications include work on weldments, castings, tubing interiors, and machined bores. Trade professionals in metal fabrication, industrial maintenance, and general manufacturing use cartridge rolls of this type when working with carbon steel, alloy steel, and similar ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive provides durable, consistent cutting action on ferrous metals
• 50 grit coarse grade enables aggressive stock removal and surface leveling
• Full taper profile allows access to contoured surfaces, slots, and confined areas
• 3/8 inch maximum diameter fits standard cartridge roll mandrels used in die grinders
• Lightweight at 0.015 pounds per unit, minimizing added rotational mass

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style abrasive consumable for use with standard cartridge roll mandrels in die grinders and rotary tools rated for cartridge roll accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the cartridge roll onto a compatible tapered mandrel secured in a die grinder or rotary tool chuck. Ensure the tool is powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing any abrasive accessory. Do not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the abrasive roll or the mandrel. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating rotary abrasive tools.
