Merit Abrasives 08834184828 60 Grit Square Abrasive Pad

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834184828 is a 60-grit, medium-grade aluminum oxide square abrasive pad designed for surface preparation, deburring, and finishing tasks in trade and industrial applications. Measuring 1 inch long by 1 inch wide by 1/4 inch thick, this single-ply pad is rated for up to 25,000 RPM, making it suitable for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and similar power equipment. Aluminum oxide is a durable, fast-cutting abrasive material that holds up well across metal, wood, and composite surfaces. The 8-32 inch eyelet size provides a secure, stable mount during high-speed operation.

This pad is used in applications requiring controlled material removal or surface blending at a medium grit level. Typical scenarios include weld cleanup, rust removal, paint stripping, and general surface conditioning on metal components. It is well suited for HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trade work where small-diameter abrasive tooling is needed in tight or recessed areas. The compact 1-inch square format allows access to confined spaces where larger abrasive wheels cannot reach.

Key Features

• 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for medium-rate material removal
• Rated up to 25,000 RPM for compatibility with standard rotary and die-grinder tooling
• Compact 1 inch x 1 inch x 1/4 inch square pad fits tight or recessed work areas
• 8-32 inch eyelet mount for secure attachment and reduced vibration
• Single-ply construction for consistent abrasive contact across the pad face

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools and die grinders that accept an 8-32 inch threaded mandrel and operate within a 25,000 RPM maximum speed rating.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with rotary abrasive tooling. Always confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 25,000 RPM maximum rating of the pad before operation. Secure the pad firmly to the mandrel before powering on the tool, and inspect the pad for damage or wear prior to each use. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating abrasive tooling.
