Power brushes remove damaging burrs
Power brushes remove damaging burrs and sharp edges and improve the quality and the performance of gears, while also lowering manufacturing costs compared to other deburring methods.
Long life flap discs offer high cut rate.
Flap discs have increased durability and a longer lifespan, because as the disc wears down, new abrasive grain is continuously exposed, so providing a high cut rate and long life.
This coated abrasive product can significantly impact the high costs of grinding and finishing stainless steel.
In the past, fast cutting products have produced rough finishes which are difficult to refine, while products capable of producing smooth finishes cut less effectively.
However, Weiler's Tiger Disc for Stainless Steel produces a smooth finish which is easy to refine.
This results in less labor used in secondary finishing operations.
Heat discoloration on stainless steel parts is a substantial problem normally associated with conventional flap discs and grinding wheels.
This problem lengthens subsequent blending and finishing operations, adding more labor cost and operator fatigue.
The Tiger Disc for Stainless Steel grinds much cooler, resulting in no heat discoloration or thermal distortion of the expensive stainless steel work-piece.
The Tiger Discs can be used on stainless steel applications such as weld blending, grinding, heavy deburring, deflashing, stock removal and dressing, finishing and blending, and edge chamfering.
For customers that demand custom-effective solutions, Weiler offers engineered solutions for its entire line of Tiger abrasives.
