    Made of aluminum oxide, these bits are well suited for use on most metals and materials that are not heat sensitive.
    Bits are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
    Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

    The abrasive grains in these bits are blended with rubber, which cushions during grinding to produce a smoother surface texture than other bits with similar grits. Bits are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
    Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

    For Steel—Bits for steel are aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive used in grinding metal.
    For Aluminum, For Brass, and For Bronze—Bits for aluminum, brass, and bronze are silicon carbide, which cuts through soft metals without generating much heat or causing material buildup.

    Bits attach to shanks so you can quickly switch head shapes without removing the shank. The abrasive grains are blended with rubber, which cushions during grinding to produce a smoother surface texture than other bits with similar grits.
    Bits are silicon carbide, which cuts through soft metals without generating much heat or causing material buildup. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
    Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

    Made of aluminum oxide ceramic, these bits prevent material and heat buildup better than bits made of boron nitride and aluminum oxide when used on steel, stainless steel, iron, and titanium. They also last longer than boron nitride bits, so they’re the best choice for high-volume applications. Also known as mounted points and die grinder bits.
    Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
    Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

    Grind a variety of materials, from metal to ceramic and plastic, in precise, detailed jobs. These bits have a diamond abrasive, so they’re extremely hard. Their 3/32" diameter shank and small head allow them to get into intricate spots. They are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
    Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

    Made of cotton fiber layers embedded with aluminum-oxide grains, these bits grind and finish in one step. They’re ideal for light deburring, blending, and finishing metal. These grinding bits remove material more efficiently than rubber-cushioned bits. While grinding, they resist the buildup of aluminum, brass, bronze, and other nonferrous metal. They’re also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
    Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.
