Smooth Touch Wheels

An upgraded line of blending, finishing, and polishing wheels that operate at higher RPMs for use in automated and hand finishing operations has been introduced by Rex-Cut Abrasives.

Rex-Cut Smooth Touch Blending and Polishing Wheels feature non-woven cotton fiber construction that constantly exposes fresh abrasives as they work, are flexible, conformable, and provide smooth control. Suitable for use on stainless steel, exotic metals, and aluminum requiring a high finish, they are available in standard coarse, medium, and fine grits for use at speeds up to 30,000 RPM, depending upon diameter and thickness.

Incorporating a proprietary bond that provides a single density for applications comparable to conventional 2-9 density unitized wheels, Rex-Cut Smooth Touch Blending and Polishing Wheels are available in 2", 3", 4" and 6" dia. sizes, 18", ¼", and ½" thick. They will also last up to five times longer than conventional unitized wheels, claims the firm.
