New ALPHA-KUT™ Quickly Remove Slag, Burrs and More from Castings and Heavy Weldments

(Vandalia, OH) Superior Abrasives, LLC introduces their most aggressive coated material in quick change form, ALPHA-KUT™ Quick Change Discs.  Burrs, sharp edges, slag and other undesirable materials can be quickly removed, and the workpiece shaped in a single step, thereby reducing changeover time and costs.  ALPHA-KUT™ consists of triangular, precision-formed abrasive grains that exhibit the continually self-sharpening properties and wear characteristics of ceramics, delivering a consistent cutting action over a long service life.  The grain strength is complemented by a rigid fiber backing for stability, allowing added pressure for maximum stock removal.  ALPHA-KUT™ quick change discs are ideal for heavy material removal or hardened materials, such as castings where the sprue is removed, large parts with excessive parting lines, large weld removal in narrow or otherwise inaccessible areas, weld or seam removal and blending, leveling and rough shaping, and more.  Foundries and fabricators working with cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel can save time on tooling changeovers and achieve faster processing with this aggressive new product.

While ALPHA-KUT™ can complement existing coated abrasives, it may be a suitable replacement for small diameter or light use cutting wheels.  The relatively forgiving nature of coated abrasives allows new and inexperienced operators to perform tasks without much risk to expensive workpieces.  Available in 36 grit, 1 ½”, 2” and 3” diameters with military-grade nylon type R button attachments.

Superior Abrasives, LLC. is a leading manufacturer of abrasive tools for surface finishing applications.  They manufacture a full lineup of products including quick change discs, flap wheels, PSA products, belts, shop rolls, cartridge rolls, and more, from their 100,000 square foot factory.

Introducing SHUR-KUT™ Coated Cartridge Rolls for Shaping, Porting, Finishing or Polishing Hard to Reach Areas

(Vandalia, OH) Superior Abrasives, LLC introduces SHUR-KUT™ Coated Cartridge Rolls which feature a specially wrapped design which produces new layers for fresh cutting action throughout life as the surface layers are worn away.  They are ideal for shaping, porting, finishing, or polishing hard to reach areas.  Cotton cloth acts as a cushion for polishing finer grits.  Many diameters are available to match or enlarge existing contours, while straight or tapered designs are also available for through holes or inside corner grinding. Available with industry-leading lead times, with many items shipping from stock.  Ideal for a wide variety of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, exotic alloys, plastics, and composites.

Ceramic cartridge rolls feature self-sharpening grains which continually produce fresh cutting points which easily cut through stainless and alloys.  Self-sharpening grains also reduce friction and prolong cut rates.  Additional grinding aid further reduces heat for extended wear and reduced downtime.  Multiple layers wear away to expose fresh abrasive material, further extending service life.

Aluminum Oxide straight cartridge rolls feature a generalpurpose cutting action which wears evenly and uniformly, producing a consistent cut on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.  Ideal for use in straight holes or cylinders or around contoured parts, they remove or shape arts quickly, deburr stamped parts, and allow access to intricate areas or small holes.  A tapered design is also available to provide more access and pointed control in concave areas or inside corners. They allow users to grind and follow acute seams and welds. Ideal for removing or smoothing inside corner welds, porting and shaping concave areas, and navigating intricate cast parts.

SHUR-KUT™ Cartridge Rolls are available in a variety of useful sizes, from 3/16” to 1” diameter, up to 2” length, multiple pilot hole diameters and a full range of grits from 36 to 320.
