Grinding Bits for Metals
Made of aluminum oxide, these bits are well suited for use on most metals and materials that are not heat sensitive.
Bits are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

Grinding Bits for Stainless Steel
Bits are specially formulated to stay cool during grinding, so they won’t mar or discolor stainless steel. They are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

Grinding Bit Sets for Metals
Each set contains a selection of grinding bits. All include bits made of aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive used for grinding metal. These bits are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits.
Sets for steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, iron, and nickel contain bits made from a range of abrasive materials in different shapes and sizes. They’ll help you achieve varying levels of finish on a wide range of materials. Cotton laminate/aluminum oxide blend bits remove more material than rubber-cushioned aluminum oxide bits, and they’ll create a nicer finish than vitrified ceramic alumina bits. Bits with nylon mesh remove the least material but create the nicest finish.
Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

Miniature Long-Life Grinding Bits for Nonmetals
Made with diamond abrasive, these bits are extremely hard and last longer than tungsten carbide. They have a small shank and head for precise and intricate jobs. To extend the life of these bits and improve their finish, use a water- or oil-soluble mist or coolant. They are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
A keyless chuck (sold separately) connects these bits to rotary tools that accept a 1/8" shank diameter.
Caution: As bit shank is exposed beyond 1/2", maximum safe rpm decreases significantly. Refer to ANSI standard B7.1. Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

Spiral-Wound Sanding Rolls
As the outer layer wears away, new abrasive is exposed. Also known as cartridge rolls. A shank adapter or tapered spindle with a shank is required (both sold separately). The most common abrasive material, aluminum oxide is hard enough to sand steel and wood. The diameter listed is for the large end of the roll.
Cone rolls are for use in holes. Unlike tapered rolls, they have a flat surface to allow for a more even finish within internal surfaces.
