Abrasives, Brushes & Electrodes

Abrasives

Abrasives come in a variety of grains, bonds and configurations. From aluminum-oxide to superabrasives of diamond and CBN, abrasives are used to remove material one grain at a time and impart a fine finish on the material being ground. Abrasives can also be used to grind rubber.

Brushes

Typically brushes are used to deburr parts, but are also used to polish and hone. Recently, with the use of ceramic bristles, brushes can be made to remove more stubborn burrs.

Electrodes

Electrodes are most often used to weld two pieces of metal to each other, but are also used to weld plastic. Electrodes come in several styles including pure tungsten, copper and a brazed using both copper and tungsten.
