Superior Abrasives A014897 Quick-change Disc 2in 80 Grit

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ABRASIVES A014897 is a Type R quick-change coated abrasive disc designed for fast material removal on metal and other hard surfaces. At 2 inches in diameter and 80 grit, this disc falls in the medium-grade range, making it well-suited for weld blending, surface prep, and deburring tasks. It uses aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a heavy X-weight cloth backing, which handles the heat and lateral stress common in angle grinder and die grinder applications. The maroon disc with black button mounts and releases quickly on Type R mandrels without tools. Rated to 30000 RPM, it keeps up with high-speed pneumatic and electric grinders used in fabrication and field metalwork.

This disc is used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, HVAC sheet metal work, and general industrial maintenance. The 2-inch size fits compact die grinders and right-angle tools commonly carried by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and sheet metal workers. It performs well on carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum for tasks such as removing mill scale, cleaning weld seams, and prepping surfaces before coating or inspection. Sold individually, it is intended for purchase in multiples of 100 to maintain job-site supply.
