Rubber-Cushioned Abrasive Grinding Bits for Metals
The abrasive grains in these bits are blended with rubber, which cushions during grinding to produce a smoother surface texture than other bits with similar grits. Bits are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
Bits for steel are aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive used in grinding metal.
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.

Rubber-Cushioned Abrasive Grinding Bits without Shank for Metals
Bits thread onto shanks so you can quickly switch head shapes without removing the shank. The abrasive grains are blended with rubber, which cushions during grinding to produce a smoother surface texture than other bits with similar grits.
Bits are silicon carbide, which cuts through soft metals without generating much heat or causing material buildup. 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.

Long-Life Rubber-Cushioned Abrasive Grinding Bits for Metals
A diamond abrasive that's bonded to a rubber cushioning makes these bits last 10 to 20 times longer than rubber-cushioned bits without diamond. Because they’re cushioned during grinding, these bits produce a smoother surface texture than other bits with similar grits. 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.

Spiral-Wound Sanding Rolls
As the outer layer wears away, new abrasive is exposed. Also known as cartridge rolls. A shank adapter is required (sold separately).
Straight rolls are for use in channels, fillets, recesses, contours, sidewalls, and other hard-to-reach spots.
Tapered rolls are for use on angles, corners, concave contours, funnel-shaped recesses, and other intricate shapes. The diameter listed is for the large end of the roll.
