Tools & Gear Abrasives Clean & Strip Wheels

5232-75X1H 75mm Blue (long life) Clean & Strip Hex Shank Wheel Single thickness, 1/4" hex shank. Silicon carbide impregnated nylon Clean & Strip Discs for removing rust, paint, corrosion from ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, fibreglass, brick and stone. Silicon carbide and non-woven nylon fibres are bonded together using resin to create these versatile discs. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as preparation prior to painting and general surface cleaning. While silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminium oxide, it produces a superior finish with a sharp, consistent cut without gouging or damaging the surface of the workpiece. As the disc wears the resin bonds breaks down gradually revealing new fibres and sharp abrasive, giving a consistent cut over the life of the disc. Additionally the open weave of the nylon fibres permits air flow and prevents clogging. The sharp-cutting nature of silicon carbide in conjunction with the open web make this product well suited for removing surface coatings, sealants, rust removal, weld cleaning, and paint removal.
