Abrasives for metal fabrication
Practical information from The Sandpaper People for professional shops and production teams.
Start with the material and operation
Specify the alloy, task, tool model and required finish. Cutting, grinding, weld blending and final finishing have different product requirements.
Cutting and grinding
Confirm wheel dimensions, mounting, suitability for the material and operation, and operating limits against the tool and manufacturer instructions.
Blending and finishing
Compare flap discs, fibre discs and non-woven abrasives against the result required. For smaller areas, check quick change discs, cartridge rolls and bristle products. Evaluate the result on a suitable sample.
Make repeat orders easier
Record the approved product number, grade, size, selling unit and order increment. Send these details when asking for a replacement.
