Grind and finish in one step with exclusive
soft material application flap discs
Lawson Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:LAWS) a distributor of
products and services to the MRO marketplace, today announced the
new Blue-Kote™ Soft Material Application Flap Disc,
which grinds aluminum and all non-ferrous metals at high speed with
minimal clogging or loading, while keeping the work surface
temperature low for quality finishing.
The Type 27 abrasive disc is also used with composite materials
such as carbon fiber and plastics. The 4.5-inch diameter disc is
available in 40 and 60 grit.
Produced exclusively for Lawson Products, the new
Blue-Kote Soft Material Application Flap Disc is
manufactured from tough aluminum oxide grain layered in a specially
engineered net structure. The unique design provides
high-performance cut rate and aggressive stock removal with surface
blending action for excellent finish consistency. The soft,
long-lasting disc that simultaneously grinds and finishes saves
process time, eliminates the need for product changeover, and
reduces total cost.
Because aluminum has a much lower melting temperature than other
metals, keeping aluminum cool while grinding and finishing is a big
challenge for welders and fabricators. The Blue-Kote disc
cloth’s net structure resists clogging on soft materials, and its
sanded surface stays cooler and avoids burning the work
surface.
