Industrial Abrasive Tools, What Are They?

The preparation of parts for production or assembly is done by specialty abrasive tools. They are either driven by a sander or grinder or are handheld tools and can come in a variety of widths, lengths, shapes, and sizes depending on the purpose. Some purposes include:

Sharpening
Grinding
Buffing
Polishing
Surface preparation
Metal cutting
Removal of debris, dirt, or other material

We offer a wide selection of specification-customized industrial abrasive substrates including:

Rayon/Lyocell backings
Polycotton backings
PET backings
PET knit/woven substrates
Cotton backings
Nylon/Poly screens

Types of Abrasive Tools

Sanding Belt: A sanding belt is an abrasive loop of material most often used to grind down wood, as well as other ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Belt sanders are the best choice for obtaining a smooth and level finish over a long length of material.

Sanding/Grinding Disc: A sanding or grinding disc is a circular disc of abrasive grit paper. They are best used to remove paint or rust corrosion and can be washed and reused.

Wheel Brush: A wheel brush is a type of wire brush that is typically used to remove rust, paint, or welding splatter. They either come in a cup or end style and allows for more aggressive material removal when knotted. Use a wheel brush when it comes to hard-to-reach places.

Handy/Utility Rolls: These rolls are long and skinny strips of sandpaper that you can tear to size. The smaller size of these rolls makes them great for general-purpose metalworking and hard-to-grind materials like stainless steel or cast iron, with aluminum oxide.

Abrasive Materials Safety Tips

Wear Proper PPE. This includes gloves, eye protection, ear protection, and respiratory protection for the grade of what you are abrading.
Avoid loose clothing where possible as to not get caught in the tools.
Stay clear of sparks and be aware of where your sparks are flying in relation to other people.
Grind in well-ventilated areas.
Avoid working near flammable materials.
Stop and refasten your tools immediately if they vibrate or seem loose.
