Description
The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834173111 is a 16-inch diameter abrasive disc designed for stationary disc sanders in trade and shop environments. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive material and a cloth backing, this medium-grade disc delivers consistent stock removal on wood, metal, and composite surfaces. At 120 grit, it sits in the fine-to-medium range well suited for surface prep, blending, and finish work where aggressive material removal is not required. The flexible construction allows the disc to conform slightly under load, extending contact area and reducing uneven wear. Weighing 0.5 pounds, it is a straightforward drop-in for compatible stationary disc sanders.
This disc is intended for use on stationary disc sanders in woodworking shops, fabrication environments, and industrial maintenance settings. The 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive handles general-purpose sanding tasks including edge smoothing, surface leveling, and pre-finishing prep on wood and light metal. The cloth backing provides durability and flexibility during extended use cycles. It is packaged and sold as a single disc, making it practical for targeted replacement without overstocking.
