Crocus Cloth Sheets — 9" x 11" — Ultra-Fine Metal Polishing

USA1 Abrasives Crocus Cloth Sheets are the traditional choice of mechanics and machinists for ultra-fine metal polishing and surface finishing. Made with iron oxide (crocus) abrasive on a flexible J-weight cloth backing, these sheets produce a smooth, polished surface on metal shafts, bushings, bearings, and precision components where standard sandpaper is too aggressive.

Technical Specifications

• Abrasive Material: Iron oxide (crocus)
• Backing: Flexible J-weight cloth
• Sheet Size: 9" x 11"
• Grit Equivalent: 800 grit ANSI / P1500 grit FEPA (ultra-fine)
• Application: Dry or light oil polishing

Key Features & Benefits

• Ultra-Fine Abrasive: Equivalent to 800 grit — removes only the finest surface imperfections
• Flexible J-Weight Cloth: Conforms perfectly to round shafts, bushings, and curved surfaces
• Gentle on Precision Parts: Polishes without removing significant material — ideal for tight-tolerance components
• Traditional Machinist's Choice: Trusted for generations in machine shops and automotive repair
• Tear-Resistant: Cloth backing withstands wrapping around shafts and pulling back and forth
• Leaves a Polished Finish: Produces a smooth, bright surface on ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Recommended Applications

• Polishing engine crankshafts and camshafts
• Smoothing bearing journals and bushings
• Cleaning and polishing valve stems
• Removing light rust and oxidation from precision parts
• Final polishing of machined metal surfaces
• Lathe polishing of turned metal components

How to Use Crocus Cloth

• Wrap a strip around the shaft or component
• Pull back and forth in a shoe-shine motion for round parts
• Use with light machine oil for best results on precision components
• Follow with a clean cloth to remove residue
