CRATEX ABRASIVES

Dimensions shown are diameter x length x arbor hole.

Cratex rubberized abrasives are made in four standard grit textures or compositions which differ in accordance with the mesh size of the silicon carbide abrasive grain used: Coarse (Dark Green), Medium (Dark Brown), Fine (Reddish Brown), and Extra Fine (Grey Green).

Cratex cylinders are excellent for cleaning and polishing metal surfaces, for breaking edges, smoothing away high spots, removing rust, heat marks, tarnish and stains.

Designed for either manual or mechanical operation, Cratex cones can be mounted in tool holding fixtures, chucks, or cradles. Used for polishing shafts, cleaning and dressing diamond wheels, polishing rotating cylindrical parts, cleaning calibration and reference points, removing feathered edges, or touching up cutting tools, dies, chisels and other sharp edged tools.

The maximum safe speed depends on the length the shank extends from your grinder, and is marked on the package. Best results are usually obtained at 30% to 80% of that speed, with a light work pressure.

Do not exceed maximum safe operating speeds when using Cratex rubberized abrasives.
