Surface Prep Wheels and Surface Polishing Wheels - AA Abrasives Inc

AA Abrasives, Inc. has added a line of surface preparation and polishing wheels in both aluminum oxide - red/maroon and silicon carbide - grey. Both types of abrasive wheels are available in either a 4-1/2 x 7/8 or 4-1/2 x 5/8-11 arbor hole from stock.  These surface prep wheels are usually used after a Unitized Wheel.  The softer density allows for the surface prep wheels to conform to contours more easily. The surface preparation line is designed for blending, smoothing and finishing stainless steel, steel, aluminum and nonferrous metals.

Surface preparation and polishing wheels

Made from non woven material impregnated with abrasive grains, the polishing wheels remove paint, rust and welding discoloration from stainless steel. The Type 27 shape surface preparation wheels are available in aluminum oxide and silicon carbide grains in 4 1/2" and 7" diameters to fit most right angle grinders. They are designed with reduced backing to lessen work piece scratching and allow for maximum use of the wheel material. These wheels are heat and moisture resistant allowing consistent performance for your surface preparation needs.  These prep wheels complement our full selection of Preparation and Polishing Products.

Available from stock 4-1/2 x 7/8 or 4-1/2 x 5/8-11 surface preparation and polishing wheels.  The 7" surface preparation and polishing wheels are available by special order in 7 x 7/8 or 7 x 5/8-11. Please contact us for pricing on 7" surface preparation and polishing wheels.

The aluminum oxide surface preparation and polishing wheel is considered a fine grit size suitable for cleaning, blending and finishing stainless steel. The red/maroon colored disc is made with aluminum oxide grain. It is excellent for high polish finishes on brass.

The silicon carbide surface prep and polishing wheel is considered a very fine in grit size and provides light finishes on metal and satin finish aluminum.  The gray surface prep and polishing wheel is referred to as an Ultra Fine and is made with silicon carbide grain.  These surface prep and polishing wheels are used for polishing ferrous and nonferrous metals as well as marble. They are excellent for rust and paint removal as well as surface blending.
