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.

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.
Bits for aluminum, brass, and bronze are silicon carbide, which cuts through soft metals without generating much heat or causing material buildup.
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.

Use bits in any drill chuck that accepts a 1/4" hex shank.
Bits are aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive used in grinding metal. They are also known as mounted points and die grinder bits. Head diameter is measured at the widest point.
