Industrial 9173M Abrasive

The Norton Industrial 9173M abrasive is a non-woven abrasive disc designed for surface preparation, cleaning and finishing on metal and other substrates when used with a right-angle grinder. Model 9173M is rated for up to 12,000 rpm and specified for use with tools up to 1.6 hp, enabling rapid material conditioning at high speeds. Its non-woven construction uses a flexible abrasive web to condition contoured surfaces and edges without gouging, delivering a consistent, uniform finish on welds, rivets and surrounding areas. As part of Norton’s non-woven product line, 9173M provides versatile conditioning for industrial fabrication and maintenance workflows, supporting tasks from aggressive rust and scale removal to finer finishing in manufacturing environments. Compatible with standard right-angle grinders, this disc integrates into typical shop setups for continuous daily finishing work in fabrication, automotive, and maintenance operations.
