Abrasive Grinding Wheels.

A line of Type 1 straight-sided cotton-reinforced abrasive grinding wheels that provide chatter-free performance for deburring and finishing turbine roots and other precision-machined or cast parts is available from Rex-Cut Products. The wheels are designed to grind, debur and finish in one step by constantly exposing fresh abrasives as they work. Constructed from non-woven cotton fabric and aluminum oxide aluminum oxide: see alumina.  or silicon carbide silicon carbide, chemical compound, SiC, that forms extremely hard, dark, iridescent crystals that are insoluble in water and other common solvents. Widely used as an abrasive, it is marketed under such familiar trade names as Carborundum and Crystolon.  abrasives that are laminated laminated /lam·i·nat·ed/ (-nat?ed) having, composed of, or arranged in layers or laminae.

Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat.
 and other hard materials, the wheels can remove exit burrs from machined parts and edge break or clean up cast turbine blades without affecting the part's geometry. More than 85 standard sizes from 1 x 0.031 x 0.125 in. up to 12 x I x 1.25 in. and metrics with various grain sizes and bonds are offered.--Rex-Cut Products, Inc.
