Merit Abrasives 08834196253 Spiral Band 50 Grit Coarse

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196253 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with spindle sanders, drum sanders, and portable sanding tools. It features aluminum oxide abrasive material at 50 grit, placing it firmly in the coarse grade range — well suited for aggressive stock removal, deburring, and surface preparation on wood, metal, and composites. The band measures 3 inches in diameter by 3 inches wide. At a maximum operating speed of 3000 RPM, it is built for controlled material removal in both shop and field applications. Machinists, fabricators, woodworkers, and finishing technicians are the primary installers and users of this product.

This spiral band is appropriate for use on portable or stationary spindle sanding equipment where coarse-grade cutting action is required. Typical applications include inside-curve shaping, contour sanding, and edge work on wood, plastics, and softer metals. The 3 inches by 3 inches size fits standard spindle sanding mandrels of matching diameter. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement consumable for worn or spent bands of the same size and grit specification.
