Sanding Rolls

These rolls are coated with aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive material and hard enough to sand steel and wood. Rolls can be cut to length.

Heavy Duty Sanding Rolls

A thicker, heavier construction than standard rolls withstands tough sanding. These rolls are coated with aluminum oxide, which is the most common abrasive material and hard enough to sand steel and wood. It costs less than silicon carbide but is less sharp and takes longer to abrade.
Cloth backing is flexible and resists tearing, so it’s more durable than paper backing.

Fast-Cutting Sanding Rolls

Sanding rolls with precision-shaped ceramic alumina abrade hard metals like stainless steel faster than standard ceramic alumina rolls because of their sharp, outwardly pointed grit. The grain particles continually fracture to produce new, sharp cutting edges while maintaining their specially engineered points and angle. The design also reduces heat generation while sanding, which prevents the grit from wearing down. These rolls are also good for sanding steel and soft metals. They can be cut to length.
Water-resistant rolls won’t deteriorate when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding.

Miniature Sanding Cords

The dental floss of abrasives, these cords slip into areas that other forms cannot. They're good for deburring and polishing small holes, narrow slots, keyways, and grooves.
Water-Resistant Sanding Rolls

These rolls resist deterioration when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding. They can be cut to length. Aluminum oxide is the most common abrasive, hard enough to sand steel and wood. To achieve uniform, close-tolerance finishes on your work surface, choose a roll with a listed micron grade.
Cloth backing resists tearing and can withstand continual bending.
Plastic film backing resists tearing and bends like cloth, plus it has a high-friction coating to prevent slipping on the work surface—particularly good while wet sanding.
Not all grits are available in all lengths.

Clog-Resistant Sanding Rolls

A slick coating on these rolls prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low. Aluminum oxide, the most common abrasive material, is hard enough to sand steel and wood. It costs less than silicon carbide but is less sharp and takes longer to abrade. These rolls can be cut to length.
Cushioned Sanding Rolls

A cushioned layer lets you apply more even sanding pressure on your workpiece, creating finer and more consistent finishes. Rolls with foam backing have a slick coating that prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low. They are perforated every 5.5" for easy tearing off.

for Aluminum, Soft Metals, and Nonmetals

A layer of mesh lets sanding dust and debris escape during use, preventing material buildup on the abrasive surface. These rolls resist deterioration when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding. They have abrasive on both sides and can be cut to length.

Adhesive-Back Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals

Use these rolls to create consistent finishes on hard metals such as stainless steel, iron, and nickel. They have a slick coating that prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low. Cut the length you need and stick it on your sanding tool. When it’s time to change the sheet, peel it off.
Ceramic alumina grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It's sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel and nickel without dulling quickly.

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.
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.

Spiral-Wound Sanding Rolls with Shank

The secure bond of the roll to the integrated shank prevents loosening from vibration while sanding, resulting in a smooth finish. Great for precision grinding applications when you need to sand your surface to a specific tolerance. Use these rolls in channels, fillets, recesses, contours, sidewalls, and other hard-to-reach spots. As the outer layer wears away, new abrasive is exposed. Also known as cartridge rolls.
The most common abrasive material, aluminum oxide is hard enough to sand steel and wood. It costs less than zirconia alumina but wears down faster.

Spiral-Wound Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
Coated with ceramic alumina abrasive, these rolls are sharp and dense enough to shape hard metals such as stainless steel, nickel, and cast iron without dulling quickly. The abrasive grit continually fractures to produce new, sharp cutting edges. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly. As the outer layer wears away, new abrasive is exposed. Also known as cartridge rolls. A shank adapter is required (sold separately).
