Merit Abrasives 08834196252 Spiral Band 50 Grit Coarse

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196252 is an aluminum oxide spiral band designed for use with rotary drum sanders and pneumatic or electric finishing tools. Rated at 50 grit, this coarse-grade abrasive delivers aggressive stock removal on wood, metal, and composite materials. The spiral wrap construction helps reduce loading and promotes consistent cut throughout the life of the band. At 1.5 inches in diameter and 2 inches wide, this band fits standard drum mandrels used in portable and bench-mounted applications. Licensed tradespeople and skilled finishers reach for coarse spiral bands when shaping, deburring, or removing material at high speed.

This spiral band suits residential and commercial finishing work where fast material removal is needed before stepping down to finer grits. Typical uses include contour sanding, tube and pipe deburring, weld blending, and inside-radius finishing on metal fabrication or woodworking projects. The 50 grit coarse grade is most effective in first-pass or heavy-removal stages of a sanding sequence. This band is sold individually and is compatible with drum mandrels sized for a 1.5 inch diameter sleeve.
