Fast-Cutting Sanding Rolls

Sanding rolls with precision-shaped ceramic alumina abrade hard metals like stainless steel faster than standard ceramic alumina rolls because of their sharp, outwardly pointed grit. The grain particles continually fracture to produce new, sharp cutting edges while maintaining their specially engineered points and angle. The design also reduces heat generation while sanding, which prevents the grit from wearing down. These rolls are also good for sanding steel and soft metals. They can be cut to length.
Water-resistant rolls won’t deteriorate when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding.
Clog-resistant rolls have a slick coating that prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low.

Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals

The sharp abrasive on these rolls sands hard metals like stainless steel, nickel, and iron. These rolls can be cut to length.
Ceramic alumina grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It's sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals without dulling quickly.

Adhesive-Back Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals

Use these rolls to create consistent finishes on hard metals such as stainless steel, iron, and nickel. They have a slick coating that prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low. Cut the length you need and stick it on your sanding tool. When it’s time to change the sheet, peel it off.

Hook and Loop Vacuum Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals

Holes allow dust removal when used with a vacuum sander to prevent buildup of debris on the abrasive surface. Cut these rolls to the size you need or tear them at the perforated lines every 2 ¾”—with dozens of small holes, they can be used with any style of vacuum sander, regardless of its hole configuration. Hook and loop lets you quickly attach, remove, and reuse this material. Ceramic alumina grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It's sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and cast iron without dulling quickly. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly.

Spiral-Wound Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
Coated with ceramic alumina abrasive, these rolls are sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and cast iron without dulling quickly. The abrasive grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly. As the outer layer wears away, new abrasive is exposed. Also known as cartridge rolls. A shank adapter is required (sold separately).
Straight rolls are for use in channels, fillets, recesses, contours, sidewalls, and other hard-to-reach spots.
Tapered rolls are for use on angles, corners, concave contours, funnel-shaped recesses, and other intricate shapes. The diameter listed is for the large end of the roll.
