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.

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.
Clog-resistant rolls have a slick coating that prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low.

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.

Clog- and Water-Resistant Sanding Rolls
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.

Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
The sharp abrasive on these rolls sands hard metals like stainless steel, nickel, and iron. These rolls can be cut to length.
Silicon carbide is one of the sharpest abrasives and generates minimal heat to prevent material buildup. It is better at fine finishes and polishing than ceramic alumina.

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.

Hook and Loop Vacuum Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals
Holes allow dust removal when used with a vacuum sander to prevent buildup of debris on the abrasive surface. Cut these rolls to the size you need or tear them at the perforated lines every 2 ¾”—with dozens of small holes, they can be used with any style of vacuum sander, regardless of its hole configuration. Hook and loop lets you quickly attach, remove, and reuse this material. 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, nickel, and cast iron without dulling quickly. It sands faster and lasts longer than aluminum oxide but requires more force to abrade properly.

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.
