Merit Abrasives 08834196758 Spiral Band 36 Grit 1/2x2 in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834196758 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for aggressive material removal on drum sanders and spindle sanders. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a coated backing, this band delivers consistent stock removal at 36 grit, placing it firmly in the very coarse grade range. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter by 2 inches wide, it fits standard spiral band mandrels used in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication. The aluminum oxide grain is a durable, self-sharpening abrasive well suited to ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwoods, and composites. Rated to 10,000 RPM, it handles high-speed tool operation without delamination.

This spiral band is suited for deburring, shaping, and rapid material removal in tight contours and inside curves where flat abrasives cannot reach. It is commonly used in maintenance and repair shops, metal fabrication facilities, and woodworking operations. Typical applications include cleaning weld areas, smoothing bored holes, and shaping curved workpiece profiles. The 1/2-inch diameter makes it compatible with small-diameter mandrels on handheld die grinders and bench-mounted spindle sanders.
