Our Zirconia Flap Bands provide more aggressive stock removal than traditional Flap Wheels or No-Lap Spiral Bands. Great for working in small confined areas such as pipes and tubing. As the flaps wear, new sharp grain is exposed, providing fast cutting action through the entire life of the products. Note: MUST BE USED with accompanying slotted rubber drums. These drums will not fit conventional No-Lap bands.

Cartridge Rolls are effective for flash removal, edge breaking, polishing and removing machine tool marks. Great for reaching into corners and other tight areas that larger tools can not reach. Our Premium Aluminum Oxide works great on most materials. Our Firestorm Ceramic cartridge rolls will cut faster, and last 2-3 times longer than AO. They work especially well on hard-to-grind materials such as stainless, titianium, and other exoctic alloys.

Longest lasting grain. Grinding aid makes it excellent for high heat applications such as stainless steel, highly alloyed or hardened steels. Also works great on carbon steel.
