MX Plus Cotton Fiber-Mounted Points

December 01, 2010

A line of cotton fiber mounted points that are ideally suited for use on stainless steel sinks, tables, countertops, and related fabrications are available from Rex-Cut Products Inc.

Rex-Cut MX Plus Cotton Fiber Mounted Points are impregnated with aluminum oxide abrasives and feature high grain content to cut fast when cleaning up welds and removing slag and discoloration on stainless steel. Suitable for blending welds, deburring holes, removing scratches and burrs, and breaking edges without removing the base metal, they come in 25 different shapes.

Available in coarse, medium, and fine grits with a proprietary latex bond, Rex-Cut MX Plus Cotton Fiber Mounted Points provide smooth, controlled grinding action and the medium grit can produce a 32 RMS food-grade surface finish and the fine grit can leave a 20-22 RMS finish.

  • 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.

  • grinding

    grinding

    Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
