Tru-maxx 5109 Silicon Carbide Shop Roll 80 Grit 1.5x25 Yd

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 5109 is a silicon carbide abrasive shop roll intended for sanding, deburring, and surface preparation tasks in trade and industrial settings. The roll measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 25 yards long and carries an 80-grit designation, placing it in the medium-grade abrasive range. Silicon carbide is a harder, sharper abrasive grain than aluminum oxide, making it well suited for working non-ferrous metals, composites, plastics, and hard materials where fast, clean stock removal is needed. The screen roll backing supports flexibility around contoured surfaces and allows dust to pass through during use, reducing loading.

This shop roll is used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and finishing operations where a flexible abrasive is required for hand sanding, block sanding, or wrapping around mandrels and spindle tools. The 25-yard length gives technicians and machinists an extended supply that can be cut or torn to custom lengths as the job demands. It is appropriate for both bench work and on-machine applications where a roll format is preferred over pre-cut sheets or discs.

Key Features

• 80-grit silicon carbide grain for medium-grade, fast-cutting abrasion on hard and non-ferrous materials
• 1-1/2-inch width accommodates narrow sanding applications and wraps cleanly around small-diameter tooling
• 25-yard roll length provides extended supply that can be cut to any required length
• Screen roll backing adds flexibility for contoured surfaces and promotes dust clearance to reduce loading
• Weighs 1.15 pounds — lightweight and easy to handle on the bench or in the field

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose abrasive shop roll suitable for hand sanding and machine-assisted sanding applications across metalworking, woodworking, and composite fabrication operations.

Installation Notes

Shop rolls of this type are typically used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians without specialized tooling — a utility knife or scissors is sufficient to cut lengths from the roll. When using with power tools or spindle attachments, verify the tool RPM rating does not exceed the abrasive backing limits and secure all workpieces before sanding. Wear appropriate eye and respiratory protection when working with silicon carbide abrasives, particularly on metals and composites that generate fine particulate.
