Merit Abrasives 08834196079 Spiral Band 120 Grit Fine

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196079 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with pneumatic and electric drum sanders in metalworking, woodworking, and general finishing applications. The band is made from aluminum oxide abrasive material and carries a 120-grit, fine-grade rating suited for light stock removal, surface blending, and finish preparation. At 1.5 inches in diameter and 2 inches wide, it fits standard spiral-wound mandrels commonly found in trade shops and field service kits. Rated to 8000 RPM, the band handles typical tool speeds without risk of disintegration when used as directed. Licensed tradespeople and experienced fabricators install this style of abrasive for deburring pipe ends, cleaning weld zones, and smoothing contoured surfaces.

This spiral band is appropriate for residential and light commercial maintenance environments as well as fabrication shops. It fits standard 1.5-inch-diameter drum mandrels and is well-suited for use in tight-clearance areas such as pipe notches, bore openings, and irregular profiles where flat sheet abrasives cannot reach. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and metal fabricators commonly keep fine-grade spiral bands in their consumable inventory for prep and finishing work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Coated abrasive format maintains uniform grit density across the full working surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement spiral band for use with 1.5-inch-diameter drum mandrels on pneumatic and electric drum sander tools common in trade and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed by trade professionals by stretching the band over a compatible rubber or foam expansion mandrel and securing it before mounting the mandrel to the tool spindle. Ensure the tool is powered off and disconnected from the air supply or electrical source before changing abrasive bands. Do not exceed the rated 8000 RPM maximum when selecting tool speed. Inspect the band for tears or separations before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
