Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834183163 is a cross buff mandrel designed to mount cross buff abrasive wheels for use with rotary tools and die grinders. The mandrel features an 8-32 thread size and a 0.25 inch shank diameter, providing a secure mechanical connection between the abrasive accessory and the tool spindle. Fabricated for repetitive use in grinding, deburring, and surface finishing operations, this mandrel is a standard replacement component kept on hand by metalworking shops, maintenance technicians, and industrial trade professionals who regularly cycle through abrasive accessories.

This cross buff mandrel is suited for bench-mounted or handheld rotary tool applications where cross buff wheels are used to access tight contours, weld seams, or interior surfaces. It is appropriate for light industrial and maintenance environments including HVAC fabrication shops, pipefitting operations, and general metal finishing work. The compact shank diameter makes it compatible with standard die grinder collets commonly found in trade settings.
