Superior Abrasives A009720 Shop Roll 180 Grit 1.5in 50yd

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ABRASIVES A009720 is a 180-grit aluminum oxide shop roll designed for hand sanding, contour sanding, and finish prep work in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general shop applications. The roll measures 1.5 inches wide and 50 yards long, providing ample material for extended production runs without frequent changeouts. Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers consistent cut and durability on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, and composites. A J-weight cloth backing gives the roll flexibility for wrapping around curved surfaces and tight profiles while maintaining enough body for flat work. The red color coding aids quick identification on busy shop floors.

This shop roll is suited for metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, automotive refinishing prep, and woodworking operations. Technicians and machinists typically tear or cut lengths from the roll to wrap around blocks, mandrels, or fingers for manual deburring, blending, and surface conditioning. The 180-grit rating makes it appropriate for intermediate finishing steps where aggressive stock removal is not needed but a refined surface is not yet the goal. It works well between primer coats, for light rust removal on metal surfaces, or for final prep before sealing or painting.

Key Features

• 180-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for consistent intermediate finishing performance
• J-weight cloth backing provides flexibility for curved and contoured surfaces

• Red color coding for fast roll identification in multi-grit shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shop roll for hand sanding and manual sanding block applications across metalworking, woodworking, and automotive prep operations.

Installation Notes

Cut or tear desired lengths from the roll using a straight edge or dispenser cutter. No power tools or specialized equipment are required for hand-wrap use. When using with a motorized mandrel or drum, ensure the abrasive is secured according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Keep rolls stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture from affecting backing adhesion and abrasive performance.
