Tru-maxx 01556117M Square Polishing Stone 180 Grit

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 01556117M is a square silicon carbide polishing stone used for fine finishing and surface preparation on metal, ceramic, and composite workpieces. At 180 grit, it falls in the very fine abrasive range, making it well-suited for deburring, honing, and light stock removal where surface finish quality matters. The stone measures 6 inches in overall length and is not oil-filled, so no pre-soaking or conditioning is required before use. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians keep this type of stone on hand for bench work and in-place finishing tasks.

This polishing stone is used in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where hand finishing is part of the workflow. It is appropriate for smoothing mating surfaces, removing burrs from machined edges, and refining tool edges before final assembly or inspection. The square profile allows access to flat surfaces and inside corners. It is equally at home in a machine shop environment or on a maintenance workbench where consistent surface conditioning is needed between service intervals.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive — effective on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, and composites
• 180 grit very fine grade for controlled material removal and smooth surface finish
• Square cross-section profile for flat surface access and corner work
• 6-inch overall length provides comfortable hand grip and adequate working surface
• Not oil-filled — ready to use without pre-conditioning

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand polishing stone for bench and in-place finishing applications on flat and accessible surfaces across a range of materials.

Installation Notes

This stone is a hand-held abrasive tool used by machinists and maintenance technicians — no power tools or special mounting is required. Secure the workpiece before use to prevent movement during finishing strokes. Use consistent, even pressure and stroke direction to avoid uneven material removal. Keep the stone clean and inspect it for chips or cracks before each use.
