Merit Abrasives 08834196525 Spiral Band 36 Grit 1x1.5 Inch

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196525 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with pneumatic or electric drum sander mandrels in metalworking, woodworking, and finishing applications. This band uses an aluminum oxide abrasive material at a very coarse 36 grit rating, making it well suited for aggressive stock removal, weld blending, and deburring on hard surfaces. The band measures 1 inch in diameter by 1.5 inches wide and is rated for up to 10,000 RPM. Installers and fabricators who need fast, heavy material removal in tight or contoured areas will find this grit level appropriate for initial shaping passes before stepping up to finer grits.

This spiral band is used in shop environments where controlled abrasion is needed on metal, wood, or composite surfaces. The 36 grit very coarse grade is standard for first-pass grinding, surface prep, and removing rust, scale, or old coatings. It fits drum sander mandrels sized to accept 1 inch diameter spiral bands and is sold individually, making it practical for single-replacement situations or low-volume shop use.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed by a machinist, fabricator, or skilled tradesperson by sliding the band onto a compatible rubber drum mandrel before mounting the mandrel in the tool chuck. Ensure the tool is powered off and disconnected from the air supply or electrical source before changing bands. Do not exceed the rated 10,000 RPM maximum speed. Inspect the band for tears or separation before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
