Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Bits

Style D

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.

1/8" Dia. × 1 1/2" Lg. Shank

Style D

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

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.

Rubber-Cushioned Abrasive Grinding Bits for Metals

Style

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.

Cylinder

Style

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.

Grinding Bits for Stainless Steel

Style

Bits are specially formulated to stay cool during grinding, so they won’t mar or discolor stainless steel. They are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.

Cotton-Laminate Grinding Bits for Metals

Style

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.
