The abrasive products we offer include foundry cutting wheels for the removal of gates and runner/riser systems which are suitable for portable machines in diameters 76mm to 300mm and for fixed machines in diameters 350mm to 1600mm. Our extensive range of cutting wheels is therefore capable of processing castings from the most intricate of Lost Wax/ Investment casting to sand castings weighing many tonnes.

 

Our bonded grinding products are again available for use on portable and fixed machines in sizes from 50mm to 914mm. The bonded grinding wheel range includes products for use in heavy grinding applications capable of removing very high levels of material, as well as fine finishing applications. Our application engineers will be happy to work with you to specify the appropriate product depending on your specific requirements.

 

Our Coated abrasive products cover the whole spectrum from products that give high rates of stock removal to products that can be used for fine finishing. We offer products with tough backing material & coarse grits for removing large amounts of material, quickly for use in demanding Power Grinding and Back Stand applications, as well as products with flexible backings and finer grits for finish and polishing applications.

 

Steel and Rolling Mills in general have the same requirements as Foundries with applications ranging from heavy applications that demand fast high volume metal removal rates, to finer finishing. Again, our product range is capable of satisfying all your requirements, whether it be on bar, billet, sheet, wire, internal/external tube or pipe cutting and grinding.

 

All of our "Steel and Foundry" products are manufactured & tested to the highest quality & safety standards. We offer full technical support to ensure that products are used in the correct applications ensuring cost effectiveness & safety is achieved in application.
