Overview

• Coated abrasives can be used for most applications, from grinding to polishing
• They consist of a thin layer of abrasive adhered to fiber, paper, cloth or rubber
• Coated discs are normally used on angle grinders
• More durable than aluminum oxide, zirconia-alumina is best for medium- to heavy-material removal
• The material grains constantly fracture to produce new sharp edges
• Commonly used on carbon steels, aerospace alloys, nickel alloys, aluminum, cast iron, forgings and some stainless steels
• Type S attachment systems feature a turn-on/turn-off style fastener (1/4-1/2 turn to lock in place)
• They are interchangeable with TS and Type II Styles.
