A full line of cotton fiber mounted points and Type 1 abrasive wheels that are ideal for a wide range of robotic metal finishing and surface preparation applications is available from Rex-Cut Abrasives.
Rex-Cut Mounted Points and Type 1 Abrasive Wheels are made from multiple layers of nonwoven cotton fiber that are impregnated with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasives, laminated, and then pressed and bonded together. Ideally suited for use in robotic applications, these cotton fiber abrasive products can be custom fabricated into different shapes, bonds, and grits to achieve specific metal finishing and surface preparation requirements.
Constantly revealing fresh abrasives as they work, Rex-Cut Mounted Points and Type 1 Abrasive Wheels provide controlled metal removal, will not change a part's geometry, run cool, and debur and finish in one-step. Points come in A, B, W, and special shapes and the Type 1 wheels can be made in varying thicknesses. Applications include deburring slots, holes, and vane edges as well as mechanically removing braze, flux, and residual surface oxides.

abrasive
Substance used for grinding, honing, lapping, superfinishing and polishing. Examples include garnet, emery, corundum, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond in various grit sizes.
- aluminum oxide
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.
