Merit Abrasives 08834196707 Spiral Band 120 Grit Fine

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196707 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for precision sanding and finishing of curved surfaces, inside diameters, and contoured profiles. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive material and rated at 120 grit Fine grade, this band delivers consistent stock removal and smooth surface finishing on metal, wood, and composite substrates. At 1.5 inches in diameter and 1 inch wide, it mounts on a rubber expander drum and is rated for operation up to 12000 RPM. It is a standard single-piece unit suited for use with handheld die grinders, drill presses, and bench-mounted drum sanding setups.

This spiral band is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light metalworking environments. It is well suited for deburring, blending welds, finishing inside bores, and smoothing irregular or contoured surfaces that flat abrasives cannot reach. The Fine 120 grit designation makes it appropriate for intermediate to finish-stage work where surface quality matters. Machinists, fabricators, and skilled tradespeople working with metal or wood components are the primary installers and users of this product.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by stretching the spiral band over a properly sized rubber expander drum mandrel before securing the mandrel in the tool chuck. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 12000 RPM rating of the band before operation. Inspect the band for tears or separation before each use and do not operate a damaged band. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn during all grinding and sanding operations per applicable shop safety requirements.
