Rex-Cut® Smooth Touch™ Type 1 Deburring Wheels are made from cotton fiber, impregnated with abrasives and a proprietary bond.
Posted: April 11, 2014
A line of Type 1 cotton fiber abrasive wheels that outperform non-woven nylon wheels in many robotics deburring cell applications is available from Rex-Cut Abrasives (Fall River, MA).
Rex-Cut® Smooth Touch™ Type 1 Deburring Wheels are made from cotton fiber, impregnated with abrasives and a proprietary bond, to create a dense yet flexible wheel that constantly reveals fresh abrasives while deburring. Ideally suited for edge finishing in robotic deburring cells, they are comparable to 6 to 9 density unitized wheels, maintain their density while being conformable, and can be dressed for a wide variety of applications.
Capable of lasting up to 10X longer than unitized wheels, depending upon the application, Rex-Cut® Smooth Touch™ Type 1 Deburring Wheels are available in 1 to 6 dia. sizes from 0.0625 in to 0.25 in thick in coarse, medium, and fine grits. Also well suited for manual applications, they provide the same cushioned feel as non-woven nylon and will not change a part’s geometry.
Rex-Cut® Smooth Touch™ Type 1 Deburring Wheels are priced according to grit, size, and quantity. Samples and pricing are provided upon request.
