Tru-maxx 5068 Aluminum Oxide Shop Roll 80 Grit 1.5x50 Yd

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 5068 is an aluminum oxide abrasive shop roll designed for general-purpose material removal and surface preparation in trade and shop environments. Running 1.5 inches wide by 50 yards long, this roll delivers an 80-grit medium-grade cut on a durable cloth backing. The cloth backing provides flexibility for contour sanding and tear resistance under repeated use. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance techs, and tool-and-die workers reach for shop rolls when fixed abrasive sheets or discs are impractical for the workpiece geometry. The roll weighs approximately 3.99 pounds, keeping it manageable at the bench or in a portable roll dispenser.

This shop roll suits a wide range of applications including deburring ferrous and non-ferrous metals, blending weld seams, cleaning corroded pipe fittings, and prepping surfaces before coating or assembly. The 80-grit medium grade removes material efficiently without leaving overly deep scratch patterns, making it appropriate for intermediate stock removal steps before finishing grits are applied. It is commonly used in HVAC fabrication shops, plumbing and pipe fitting operations, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Feed and tear the roll to length using a dispenser or score-and-snap method against a straight edge. Secure loose ends when wrapping around a sanding block or mandrel to prevent slippage during use. Wear appropriate hand and eye protection when working with abrasives. Inspect the backing for tears before each use and discard sections that show delamination or clogging that reduces cut rate.
