Tru-maxx 50146 Aluminum Oxide Shop Roll 500 Grit

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 50146 is a 500-grit aluminum oxide shop roll designed for super fine finishing work on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Measuring 1.5 inches wide and 50 yards long, this roll provides an extended supply of abrasive material suited to high-volume shop environments. The J-weight cloth backing delivers flexibility for contour sanding while maintaining enough body to withstand moderate hand and machine use. At 1.6 pounds, the roll is compact enough for bench storage yet generous in length for sustained production runs. Machinists, fabricators, and finish carpenters reach for this grade when surface prep demands a finer scratch pattern before sealing or coating.

This shop roll is well suited to deburring, polishing, and final-stage surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and hardwoods. The 500-grit super fine classification makes it appropriate for applications where the goal is a smooth, consistent finish rather than aggressive stock removal. It is commonly used at grinding and finishing stations, on lathe work, and for hand-wrapping irregular profiles where a flexible abrasive is required. The continuous roll format allows technicians to tear custom lengths as needed, reducing waste and adapting to varied workpiece sizes.

Installation Notes

Shop rolls of this type are installed by hand or loaded onto a dispensing holder mounted at the workstation. Tear or cut the required length before use.
