Merit Abrasives OLD08834181735 Cartridge Roll 80 Grit

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES OLD08834181735 is a full taper cartridge roll designed for precision deburring, blending, and finishing in tight contours, slots, and cylindrical surfaces. It features an aluminum oxide abrasive at 80 grit, placing it in the medium grade — a versatile cut suited for general-purpose stock removal and surface prep on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. With a maximum roll diameter of 1/2 inch, this cartridge roll fits standard mandrels used in die grinders, drill presses, and flexible shaft machines. It is commonly installed by machinists, metalworkers, and fabricators working on inside radii and hard-to-reach areas where flat abrasives cannot perform.

This cartridge roll is appropriate for use in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where controlled material removal is needed on curved or recessed surfaces. The full taper geometry allows the roll to break down gradually, continually exposing fresh abrasive and maintaining consistent cut throughout the life of the roll. It is well suited for weld blending, burr removal, and light surface conditioning in both shop and field environments. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive for reliable performance on steel, aluminum, and other metals
• 80 grit medium grade balances stock removal with surface finish quality
• Full taper design promotes gradual breakdown for a longer effective working life
• 1/2 inch maximum diameter fits standard cartridge roll mandrels in common rotary tools
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds, minimizing operator fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge roll for use with standard tapered mandrels in die grinders, drill presses, and flexible shaft machines accepting 1/2 inch maximum diameter cartridge rolls.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or metalworking technicians using a compatible tapered mandrel. Ensure the mandrel is rated for the RPM of the rotary tool before mounting the cartridge roll. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before changing rolls. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn during operation in accordance with applicable shop safety standards.
