Merit Abrasives 08834196182 Spiral Band 100 Grit Fine

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196182 is a coated aluminum oxide spiral band designed for use with rotary drum sanders and spindle sanders in sanding and finishing applications. At 100 grit, it falls in the fine grade range, making it well suited for smoothing surfaces, light stock removal, and finishing passes on wood, metal, or composite materials. The spiral-wrapped construction of the band helps reduce loading and provides consistent abrasive contact across the work surface. This spiral band measures 1.5 inches in diameter by 1.5 inches wide and is rated for operation up to 10,000 RPM. It is a standard shop consumable installed by woodworkers, fabricators, and trade technicians.

This spiral band is used in portable and bench-mounted drum sanding applications where controlled material removal and surface finishing are required. Its fine 100 grit rating makes it appropriate for final smoothing stages on contoured edges, inside curves, and irregular profiles. It is commonly used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication settings, and general maintenance environments where a consistent finish on curved or contoured surfaces is needed.
