Merit Abrasives 08834196262 Spiral Band 36 Grit 3x3 in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196262 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with spindle sanders and pneumatic drum sanders in material removal, shaping, and surface preparation applications. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a coated backing, this band measures 3 inches in diameter by 3 inches wide and is rated to a maximum of 3000 RPM. At 36 grit, it falls in the very coarse grade range, making it suited for aggressive stock removal on wood, composites, and similar materials. Metalworkers, woodworkers, and fabricators reach for this grade when the goal is rapid material removal rather than finish work.

This spiral band is a standard fit for drum and spindle sanding setups used in woodworking shops, cabinet fabrication, and general fabrication environments. The 3-inch by 3-inch size is a common drum dimension found on both benchtop and floor-standing spindle sanders. The very coarse, 36-grit specification is best applied in early-stage shaping passes, edge profiling, and removing saw marks before stepping up to finer grits. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sliding the spiral band over the rubber drum of a spindle or drum sander and expanding the drum to secure the band in place. Always power down and unplug the sander before changing abrasive bands. Do not exceed the 3000 RPM maximum speed rating. Inspect the drum and band for tears or damage before each use.
