CGW 44855 9" W x 11" L 180-Grit Stearated Silicon Carbide A-Weight Abrasive Sheet

CGW 44855 9" W x 11" L 180-Grit Stearated Silicon Carbide A-Weight Abrasive Sheet is a versatile hand-sanding and finishing sheet designed for metalworking and wood finishing tasks. The abrasive sheet features silicon carbide grains prepared in 180 grit to deliver a balance of cut rate and surface finish, suitable for light to medium material removal and for final sanding steps. The backing is latex paper, which provides a flexible, tear-resistant surface that conforms to contours and profiles when used by hand or with sanding blocks.

Constructed as an A-weight abrasive sheet, the product uses stearated silicon carbide to reduce loading and help maintain consistent cutting action during extended use. The stearating treatment also aids in lubricating the contact between the abrasive and the workpiece, which can be helpful when sanding lacquered wood products or metal surfaces. This combination is beneficial for users seeking a reliable finish with a straightforward setup for dry or wet sanding applications where moisture management is minimal.

This sheet is sized at 9 inches by 11 inches, and is packaged as a single sheet with a box quantity of 100, making it suitable for bulk purchase in workshop or shop settings. It is compatible with standard hand sanding practices and can be used either wet or dry depending on the task, providing flexibility for different stages of the finishing process. When choosing this sheet, consider the need for an even, consistent cut and a finish appropriate for both metalworking and lacquered wood, and ensure the backing and sheet density align with your sanding block or hand-applied technique.
