The Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Cross Pad is a multi-purpose abrasive designed for a variety of industrial applications, including blending, deburring, polishing and finishing. The flexibility of the cross pad enables access to holes, recesses, and cylinder walls. Moreover, space between the fingers of the pad helps operators see the workpiece during use.

Flexible Design, Multiple Uses
The distinctive design of the Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Cross Pad enhances its versatility – making it well suited for grinding in hard-to-reach areas, as well as producing a final shine and polish. Strips of abrasive material are folded over an eyelet and intersect to form a cross. As the pad spins inside pipes or tubes, the four spindles rotate to swiftly finish the workpiece. Spindles are springy and buoyant enough to accommodate uniquely shaped parts, without gouging or marring the surface, and the mineral leaves a consistent scratch pattern. Cross Pads are less aggressive than square pads and are generally used for metal finishing tasks. Their small shape makes them ideally suited to get inside tubes and any other internal diameters.

The Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Cross Pad is great for finishing and polishing inside and around sharp corners and extrusions, and the mineral cuts aggressively without compromising the geometry of the part. The pad is also good for blending radii and finishing bell-mouth pieces.

A Final Finish, Without the Chatter
The spindles on our Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Cross Pad are multi-ply, containing up to 16 layers of abrasive material. The higher the ply, or “thickness,” the more aggressive and durable the pad will be; choose these pads when you’re looking to deburr or grind. Lower ply abrasives tend to be more flexible and conform well to the substrate, so choose these pads when polishing or finishing. Altogether, the multi-thickness of the abrasive material acts as an extra cushion – a pillow-like shock absorber that won’t vibrate, skid or deflect along the surface. It reduces the likelihood of chatter, which tends to result from too much vibration and frequency between the abrasive, tool and workpiece.

AO Mineral Versatility
Aluminum Oxide (AO) cross pads are a good match for operators who desire all-purpose versatility and economy. AO is a tough mineral that self-fractures to produce a fast cut while grinding, blending and deburring. It can be used on a wide variety of materials including ferrous metals and composites.

Anatomy of a Cross Pad
The cross pad has a metal eyelet that attaches to a mandrel and may be used with a rotary tool. By changing mandrel length, the user may shorten or extend the pad’s reach. Standard Abrasives Cross Pads are manufactured from a variety of minerals, including Aluminum Oxide, Zirconia, Ceramic and Silicon Carbide (each sold separately). All minerals are securely anchored to the backing with a strong, heat-resistant resin bond. Combining cushion, flexibility and an aggressive cut, these well-rounded abrasive products offer outstanding versatility.

Standard Abrasives Model

The Standard Abrasives A/O Cross Pad 704000 is designed for versatile industrial use. This 8 PLY pad offers a durable, multi-layer construction that balances aggressiveness and flexibility for various metalworking tasks.

Its aluminum oxide mineral suits most general applications, making it a reliable choice for blending, deburring, polishing, and finishing. The 704000 model ensures consistent performance across different surfaces.

Flexible Design Benefits

This 4 in x 4 in x 1 in cross pad easily conforms to workpieces, allowing access to tight spots like holes, recesses, and cylinder walls. Its flexible design helps operators achieve smooth finishes without damaging the part.

The cross-shaped layout with intersecting abrasive strips spins inside pipes or tubes, making it ideal for polishing bell-mouth pieces and drop forge dies. Its shape is perfect for internal diameters and sharp corners.

Effective Grade and Ply

The 8 PLY thickness of this cross pad provides a cushioned, chatter-free grinding experience. Higher ply pads like this one are more aggressive and durable, suitable for deburring and grinding tasks.

Aluminum oxide mineral grade 60 offers a fast cut and good grain retention. This combination ensures long life and consistent scratch patterns while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece.

Format And System Use

The cross pad features a 1/4-20 metal eyelet that fits Standard Abrasives mandrels (sold separately), allowing easy attachment to rotary tools. Changing mandrel length adjusts the pad’s reach for different applications.

This format supports a variety of minerals and offers flexibility in use. The laminated construction and resin bond system secure the abrasive material firmly, enhancing performance and durability.

Pack Size And Convenience

This product comes in a pack of 25 per carton and 250 per case, making it suitable for both small shops and larger industrial operations. The quantity ensures you have enough pads for ongoing projects.

Having a bulk supply reduces downtime and keeps your workflow steady. The 4 in x 4 in size fits many standard tools, providing convenience and efficiency in abrasive tasks.
