Standard Abrasives™ Multi-Finish Wheel 856392, 8 in x 1 in x 3 in 2SMED, 3 ea/Case

Standard Abrasives™ Multi-Finish Wheel is purposefully engineered as a low density wheel, helping it conform to the workpiece and leave a soft scratch pattern without greatly altering the geometry of the part. During final finishing with a low density wheel like Standard Abrasives™ Multi-Finish Wheel, low pressure should be applied. Moreover, because the wheel is low density, it has a larger contact patch than a hard density wheel would, allowing greater contact with the workpiece.

The Standard Abrasives™ Multi-Finish Wheel is designed by mixing silicon carbide mineral and nonwoven nylon fibers with resin to create an open web. Combining sharp cutting mineral with low pressure makes for a good, soft scratch pattern that users desire during final finishing. The mineral comes in fine (FIN), medium (MED) and coarse (CRS) grades. Users should opt for a fine grade for the softest scratch pattern and a coarser grade for a rougher scratch pattern.

Nonwoven fibers in open web break down during use to reveal new mineral, and the benefits are twofold. First, mineral renewal lends itself to a consistent scratch pattern, applied evenly throughout the life of the abrasive. Second, even attrition, or uniform breakdown of the fibers, prevents chunking or dusting. Because they are non-metallic, the nylon fibers do not contaminate metal; they won't melt or produce the heat-induced smears and blemishes that might result from metal on metal.

Combining buoyant, responsive nonwoven fibers with sharp-cutting silicon carbide mineral make this abrasive a great match for final finishing. It performs well when blending coated abrasive scratches or blending surfaces to match a #4 mil finish. Some other great applications include satin finishing on architectural hardware or grain finishes prior to anodizing.

Whether stainless steel fabricators or appliance and food equipment manufacturers, our multi-finishing wheel is designed to help users from multiple industries achieve the final finish they desire. From door hardware, to plumbing fixtures, aluminum extrusions, sanitary metal containers and dairy equipment, this wheel is a good choice for final finishing on a range of workpieces.

• Low density wheel covers more surface area when light pressure is applied
• Silicon carbide mineral, available in a range of grade, cuts sharp for final finishing
• Runs smooth for less operator fatigue
• Non-metallic nylon fibers prevent workpiece contamination, including smears and blemishes
• Open web conforms to workpiece, preventing undercutting and gouging
