Merit Abrasives 08834196164 Spiral Band 36 Grit 1.5x1.5in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196164 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for aggressive material removal on curved, contoured, and irregular surfaces. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a coated backing, it operates at up to 10,000 RPM and delivers a very coarse, 36-grit cut suited for rapid stock removal, weld blending, and surface prep work. The band measures 1.5 inches in diameter by 1.5 inches wide and mounts on a rubber expansion drum for use with die grinders and portable drill presses. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians reach for this band when speed of cut matters more than surface finish.

This spiral band is used in metal fabrication shops, welding environments, and general industrial finishing applications. It is well suited for inside diameter sanding, deburring castings, and shaping wood or composites where a flexible, conforming abrasive is required. The 36-grit very coarse grade makes it the right choice for initial stock removal passes before stepping up to finer grits. It is installed on a matching 1.5-inch diameter rubber expanding drum and run with a die grinder or similar rotary tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sliding the spiral band over a matching rubber expansion drum; ensure the drum diameter matches the band diameter exactly before use. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the band. Do not exceed the rated 10,000 RPM maximum speed. Inspect the band for tears or separation before each use and discard if damaged.
