JacksonLea Nonwoven Abrasive Wheels and Brushes

February 01, 2015

Osborn introduces a line of JacksonLea brand non-woven abrasive wheels and brushes. The proprietary, heavy-duty non-woven abrasive provides consistent cleaning, finishing and polishing for a variety of materials including steel, brass and aluminum, as well as plastics and wood.

The non-woven abrasive line includes:

• Surface-finishing wheels are soft-density, medium-grit, silicon carbide convolute wheels ideal for generating #3 and #4 finishes on flat, contoured and curved surfaces.

• Light-deburring wheels are medium-density, fine-grit convolute wheels for highly polished finishes.

• General-deburring wheels are hard density, fine-grit convolute wheels that provide an excellent value for edge deburring performance.

• Metal-blending wheels are available in soft- and hard-density and medium grit that provide economical metal finishing due to their unique bonding.

• General-finishing flap brushes offer consistent surface finishing with good conformability.

• Spin-On finishing flap brushes are designed with the benefits of general-finishing flap brushes, but feature a 58-inch-11 threaded adapter for quick mounting on a variety of hand tools.

"This new line of JacksonLea non-woven abrasives can be used in literally hundreds of applications to blend, clean, finish, deburr and polish," said Brian Smith, marketing manager, Osborn. "These high-performing new products have a consistent and predictable work profile, as well as a competitive price."
