Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834188761 is a 2-ply cross buff abrasive wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and light deburring tasks. Measuring 1.5 x 0.5 inches and rated to 23,000 RPM, this compact wheel fits standard rotary tools, die grinders, and bench-mounted spindles via its 8-32 threaded hole mount. The coarse grade and medium density construction make it suited for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and similar work materials. It is installed and used by machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and experienced tradespeople who require a small-diameter abrasive for tight-access finishing work.

This cross buff is intended for use in applications where a small, high-speed abrasive wheel is needed for surface preparation, edge blending, or light deburring. The 1.5 x 0.5 inch profile allows access to recessed areas, slots, and contoured surfaces that larger wheels cannot reach. It is a common consumable in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and general industrial finishing environments.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by threading it directly onto a compatible 8-32 spindle mandrel. Always confirm the tool’s operating RPM does not exceed the 23,000 RPM maximum rating before use. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheel mounting and operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not force or over-tighten the threaded connection.
