Merit Abrasives 08834189308 Cross Buff Medium 3 Ply

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834189308 is a 3-ply cross buff abrasive tool designed for surface finishing, blending, and light deburring applications. Built with a medium grade and hard density construction, this cross buff mounts via an 8-32 threaded hole for secure attachment to rotary tools, die grinders, and mandrels. Measuring 1.5 x 0.5 inches, the compact profile allows access to contoured surfaces and tight workspaces. The multi-ply woven construction delivers consistent cut and finish across metal, wood, and composite substrates. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians use this style of abrasive for controlled surface preparation without aggressive material removal.

This cross buff is suited for bench grinder setups, handheld rotary tools, and drill press applications where a threaded mandrel is used. The 1.5 x 0.5 inch size makes it appropriate for detail work on small components, interior bores, and curved surfaces. It is commonly used in metal fabrication, tool-and-die, automotive finishing, and general industrial maintenance settings where consistent surface conditioning is required.

Installation Notes
