New Brushes, Abrasives, Discs for Surface Conditioning

In Booth N-2704, Weiler Abrasives Group (Cresco, PA), a provider of abrasives, power brushes, and maintenance products for surface conditioning, will showcase a variety of new products, product line upgrades and expanded offerings. New products to be displayed include:

• Roughneck® Max Stringer Bead Wheels. The new Roughneck Max 4 in Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel brushes have been upgraded to deliver industry-leading cleaning power. The stronger, sharper and more breakage-resistant wire and improved knot design provide up to twice the brush life, along with smooth and responsive operation. The wheels also require 20 percent less pressure to clean with compared to competitive brushes, helping to reduce operator fatigue.
• Expanded Line of Bonded Abrasives. The expanded line of Tiger® bonded abrasives provides welding and fabrication professionals with a wider breadth of solutions for their most demanding grinding and cutting needs. New options include:

1. Roughneck combo wheels, ceramic-infused for fast grinding and extended life, are thicker than the current pipeliner wheels and are designed to switch between cutting and grinding applications on the pipeline.
2. Two new Type 28 grinding wheels, designed for hard-to-reach areas, such as corners fillets. They feature a saucer-shape design that allows for aggressive grinding at lower angles and with less interference.

• Tiger X Flap Discs. By combining aggressive grinding and long disc life, the Tiger X flap discs allow users to increase productivity at a lower cost. An X3 industry-exclusive technology combines a triple split coat grain anchoring system, dual flap design and engineered abrasive cloth backing with intermixed ceramic alumina and zirconia alumina grain. The result is a more versatile disc that requires less force, reducing operator fatigue.

• Wolverine Flap Discs and Stringer Bead Wheels. The Wolverine line previously known as Vortec Pro, offers professional grade quality and performance at a great value. Wolverine flap discs are designed to deliver aggressive grinding and consistent performance. The improved design provides up to 25 percent more life over the previous Vortec Pro line. Wolverine 4 in Stringer Bead wheels have been re-engineered with 32 knots. This improved design delivers a 20 percent longer life, while maintaining aggressive cleaning power for weld cleaning applications. The wheels are available in both Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel options.
