Merit Abrasives 08834196173 Spiral Band 60 Grit 2x2 in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196173 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with spindle sanders and drum sanding applications. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive material and rated at 60 grit medium grade, this band delivers consistent stock removal on wood, metal, and composite materials. The 2-inch diameter by 2-inch wide format fits standard spindle sanding drums used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication, and general finishing work. With a maximum operating speed of 6000 RPM, it is suited for both bench-mounted and portable spindle sanding equipment. Installers and shop technicians rely on this format for edge work, contour sanding, and deburring tasks.

This spiral band is appropriate for light industrial and professional trade use wherever a medium-grit coated abrasive is needed for surface preparation or finishing. The 60-grit rating makes it effective for initial stock removal and shaping passes before moving to finer grits. Typical applications include woodworking trim work, metal deburring, and contour finishing on curved workpieces. It fits spindle sanding drums measuring 2 inches in diameter and is sold individually per package.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed by sliding the band onto a matching rubber spindle drum before mounting the drum assembly on the sander spindle.

Inspect the band for tears or delamination before each use and replace if the abrasive surface is worn or the backing is damaged.
