Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with the work you need to do

Identify the surface and finishing objective

For general sanding, cleaning, contour finishing, deburring, and rust removal, utility cloth abrasive rolls offer tear-to-length flexibility. For buffing, polishing, and finishing, silicon carbide cloth rolls are available. A non-woven clean and finish roll supports cleaning, blending, polishing, fine finishing, and low-pressure paint-preparation work.

  • Choose a flexible cloth roll for curved edges, angles, and contours.
  • Choose a compact cartridge roll for focused sanding, polishing, deburring, or flash removal in small areas.
  • Choose a cross pad for inside-diameter work in channels, holes, tubing, and small-radius areas.
Compare abrasive and grit options

Match the abrasive surface to the job

Aluminum oxide options are represented in 60, 80, 100, 150, 220, 320, and 400 grit products. Silicon carbide options include 80-grit sanding and cloth rolls plus a VFN clean and finish roll. Available products support work across metal, wood, plastic, and, for selected utility cloth rolls, ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

  • 100-grit aluminum oxide is described with a fast cut rate and long service life.
  • 220, 320, and 400 grit aluminum oxide options support finer or controlled surface-finishing work.
  • 80-grit silicon carbide is offered for sanding, surface leveling, bare wood sanding, buffing, polishing, and finishing.
  • VFN silicon carbide supports fine finishing and low-pressure applications.
Confirm format, size, and tool fit
