Merit Abrasives 08834196257 Spiral Band 100 Grit Fine

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196257 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with spindle sanders and drum sanding applications. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive material, this band delivers consistent stock removal on wood, metal, and composite surfaces. At 100 grit, it falls in the fine grade range, making it suitable for finishing passes and surface prep work where a smooth, refined finish is required before final sanding or coating. The band measures 1 inch in diameter by 1.5 inches wide and is rated for a maximum operating speed of 10,000 RPM. Woodworkers, metal fabricators, and trade professionals use this type of band for contour sanding and edge cleanup on irregular or curved surfaces.

This spiral band is well suited for both shop and field use where spindle-mounted sanding is required. Typical applications include inside curves, contoured profiles, and tight radii that flat sanding tools cannot reach. The aluminum oxide abrasive is a general-purpose material compatible with wood, painted surfaces, fiberglass, and softer metals. Fine grade at 100 grit positions this band for smoothing and blending work after initial shaping or stock removal stages are complete.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sliding the band onto a compatible rubber drum or spindle sander mandrel. Ensure the spindle sander is powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing the band.
