Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Bits

Style A

The abrasive-embedded mesh construction gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes in small, recessed, and hard-to-reach areas.

1/4" Dia. × 1 1/2" Lg. Shank

Style A

Coarse Grade—Coarse grade is for aggressive deburring and cleaning.

Medium Grade—Medium grade is for deburring and polishing.

Fine Grade—Fine grade is for light blending and finishing.

Grinding Bits for Metals

Style 3

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.

High-Performance Grinding Bits for Metals

Style

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.

Hex-Shank Grinding Bits for Metals


Style 2	Hex Shank

Use bits in any drill chuck that accepts a _1/4" hex shank.

Bits are aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive used in grinding metal. They are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
