Merit Abrasives 08834196011 Spiral Band Drum 1in X 3/8in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196011 is a spiral band drum designed for use with sanding sleeves in tight deburring, blending, and finishing applications. The drum measures 1 inch wide with a 3/8 inch diameter and accepts a 1/8 inch shank, making it compatible with most rotary tools, die grinders, and drill presses. It is rated to a maximum of 18,000 RPM, supporting fast material removal in metal fabrication, woodworking, and similar trades. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians typically use this style of drum to reach contoured surfaces, slots, and recesses that flat abrasives cannot access.

This spiral band drum is suited for bench-mounted or handheld rotary tool setups. The 1/8 inch shank fits standard collets found on die grinders and rotary tools used in metal shops, HVAC fabrication, and general manufacturing environments. It is used where consistent, controlled abrasion is needed on internal bores, curved edges, or irregular profiles. The compact 3/8 inch diameter allows work in confined areas where larger drums would not fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tradespeople or machinists using a compatible rotary tool or die grinder. Ensure the tool is powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing the drum. Secure the 1/8 inch shank firmly in the collet before operation and confirm the tool speed does not exceed the 18,000 RPM maximum rating of the drum.
