Tru-maxx 50221 Aluminum Oxide Shop Roll 180 Grit 1.5x50 Yd

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 50221 is a 180-grit aluminum oxide shop roll designed for fine finishing, deburring, and surface preparation across metal, wood, and composite materials. The roll measures 1.5 inches wide by 50 yards long, providing extended working length for high-volume shop environments. Aluminum oxide abrasive is self-sharpening and durable, making it well-suited for consistent material removal at a very fine grade. The J-weight cloth backing offers flexibility and conformability, allowing the roll to wrap around contoured surfaces without cracking or tearing during use. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the typical end users.

This shop roll is used in general metalworking, woodworking, and light fabrication applications where a very fine surface finish is required. At 180 grit, it is appropriate for final smoothing passes on metal surfaces before coating or plating, finish sanding on wood, and cleaning up weld seams or machined edges. The 50-yard length and 1.5-inch width make it compatible with standard shop roll dispensers and can be torn or cut to length for hand sanding or wrapped around a backing block for flat work.

Installation Notes

Load into a shop roll dispenser according to the dispenser manufacturer's guidelines, ensuring the abrasive face is oriented outward. When cutting lengths by hand, use a straight edge and utility knife or tear against the dispenser's built-in blade for a clean edge. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when handling abrasive materials. Store the roll in a dry location away from moisture to prevent backing degradation.
