Flexible, conformable wheels that apply uniform satin finishes. The density is dictated by how many flaps are wound around the core, therefore, a high-density for the firm face when working on a flat surface and a medium density for a softer, flexible face when the part is irregular in shape.
The Garnet Abrasive Wheel is a convolute wheel built by winding layers of a non-woven abrasive around a round core. The abrasive material is created by extruding fiber strands, resin and garnet mineral. With the softer organic minerals, garnet is a good match for woodworking applications, because it produces finer finishes than synthetic minerals. Ideal for the removal of mill/knife marks and chatter. Operating pressure and speeds are low to prevent burning.
Medium Density wheels in either Aluminum Oxide Fine or Very Fine grit size is used to relieve black nickel or oxide off brass in an antiquing process. Coated abrasive sheets are positioned between non-woven material for increased flexibility and cutting. Excellent for prep work before staining, sealing, or priming on raw hardwood moldings.
Non-woven abrasive web is wound around a core and specially treated, resulting in a consistent hardness and level of abrasion over the life of the product. This convolute product is perfect for light deburring. An arrow indicates the direction in which the wheels must be used. Blend and Finish wheels have an open mesh construction that is ideal for cleaning prior to coating applications.
An open mesh construction makes them ideal for applying finishes. Blending Stainless Steel surfaces to a #4 RMS finish is one the most common applicaitons
