Cotton Fiber Finishing Sticks

January 01, 2014

An expanded line of cotton fiber finishing sticks for deburring and finishing precision cast or machined parts with tough to access areas is being introduced by Rex-Cut Abrasives.

Cotton Fiber Finishing Sticks are made from reinforced nonwoven cotton fiber with either aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasives which are pressed and bonded together into different profile shapes and sizes. Now offered in a new half-round shape and as full-rounds and squares to match openings and hole details, they are ideal for removing exit burrs in difficult to reach internal spaces and will not change a part's geometry.

Suitable for use by hand or in reciprocal rotary tools, Rex-Cut Cotton Fiber Finishing Sticks are available in 18" to 1" dia. round and square sizes in 4" to 6" lengths, with 24 to 320 grain sizes, and soft, medium, and hard bonds. Applications include deburring, edge-breaking, and finishing precision cast and machined parts, molds, tools, and dies.

    aluminum oxide

    Aluminum oxide, also known as corundum, is used in grinding wheels. The chemical formula is Al2O3. Aluminum oxide is the base for ceramics, which are used in cutting tools for high-speed machining with light chip removal. Aluminum oxide is widely used as coating material applied to carbide substrates by chemical vapor deposition. Coated carbide inserts with Al2O3 layers withstand high cutting speeds, as well as abrasive and crater wear.
