Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend Combi-Wheel 898004, 3 in x 1 in x 1/4 in A MED 60, 10/Carton, 100 ea/Case

The Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend Combi-Wheel is a versatile product that is a great follow-up to coated abrasive steps in operations where a linear scratch pattern is desired. Use it to remove heavy oxidation prior to painting or plating, finish stamped or extruded aluminum parts, add a grain finish to stainless steel sheets, or create a satin finish on other large surfaces. It is suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

The durable construction of Combi-Wheel flaps provides aggressive, controlled action and a consistent, uniform finish. The Buff and Blend flaps are made from tough, resin-reinforced nylon fiber with aluminum oxide abrasive grain. The Combi-Wheel is more aggressive than a flap brush, which does not incorporate coated abrasive flaps, and less aggressive than a flap wheel, which is entirely constructed from coated abrasive flaps. In applications where a flap brush needs some extra teeth for blending or cleaning, the addition of coated abrasive flaps in a Combi-Wheel provides added abrasive strength.

To suit a variety of large and small finishing operations, this popular product comes in a broad range of sizes and in two grades, medium (MED) and very fine (VFN).

Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend material is load-resistant to keep you cutting with fresh mineral. The gaps in the open web allow unwanted swarf to escape. Consequently, less debris clogs the abrasive, so the mineral can stay fresh, keep cutting sharp and deliver a consistent cut over the life of the product. As the fibers break down and fresh mineral is exposed, it reduces the likelihood of dull or blunt mineral smearing the surface, contributing to cleaner surfaces and less re-work. Furthermore, manual fatigue that may result from applying heavy pressure to a dull abrasive is reduced.

Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend products invigorate deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing applications by helping operators reduce finishing steps, minimize costs and achieve greater throughput. Each Buff and Blend product and grade offers unique benefits, so operators can choose from a versatile range of options to ensure optimal performance on specific applications.

• Blends, cleans, and finishes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials when a linear scratch pattern is required
• Useful for satin finishing on large contoured surfaces
• Resin coated non-woven mesh material runs cool and resists smearing
• 1/4? (6 mm) permanently affixed shank enables easy use on a small straight grinder or flat finisher (for larger wheels)
• Steel shank helps maintain smooth running and ease of control for off-hand operations
• Addition of coated flaps produces a sharper cut than a completely non-woven brush
