Abrasive Discs

November 01, 2011

A full line of cotton fiber quick change abrasive discs for blending and finishing stainless steel, aluminum, and exotic alloys are available from Rex-Cut Products Inc.

Rex-Cut Cotton Fiber Quick Change Discs incorporate multiple layers of reinforced non-woven cotton which are impregnated with abrasive grains and then pressed, bonded together, and fitted with 3M Roloc and Sockatt style fasteners. Constantly exposing fresh abrasives as they work, these quick change discs grind and finish in one-step with smooth operation.

Flexible for use on flat and contoured surfaces, yet rigid enough to reach into corners, Rex-Cut Cotton Fiber Quick Change Discs last up to 25 times longer than unitized discs, claims the firm. Impregnated with either aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasive grains, they come in 1", 1-½", 2", and 3" sizes in a variety of grits with flexible and medium bonds.

Related Glossary Terms

  • abrasive

    abrasive

    Substance used for grinding, honing, lapping, superfinishing and polishing. Examples include garnet, emery, corundum, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond in various grit sizes.

  • alloys

    alloys

    Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.

  • aluminum oxide

    aluminum oxide

    Aluminum oxide, also known as corundum, is used in grinding wheels. The chemical formula is Al2O3. Aluminum oxide is the base for ceramics, which are used in cutting tools for high-speed machining with light chip removal. Aluminum oxide is widely used as coating material applied to carbide substrates by chemical vapor deposition. Coated carbide inserts with Al2O3 layers withstand high cutting speeds, as well as abrasive and crater wear.

  • flat ( screw flat)

    flat ( screw flat)

    Flat surface machined into the shank of a cutting tool for enhanced holding of the tool.
