Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 700518, 1/2 in x 1/2 in 60, 100 ea/Case

• Aluminum oxide mineral is friable and breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges for a consistent cut
• No tools required for band changes
• Single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, conforming to flat and contoured surfaces
• Spiral band easily fits over rubber drums
• Spiral construction helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter

Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is a tensile yet strong abrasive – great for light finishing, polishing, blending and deburring on both hard and soft metals.

Recommended Applications
Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is the best product for polishing and blending flat surfaces and contours, because its spiral shape enables it to smoothly roll over these surfaces. The circular band rotates centrifugally as you move it around the workpiece and – given its small size – the abrasive can easily fit inside hard-to-reach areas. Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is great for removing parting lines, tiny imperfections and little burrs, which could otherwise be difficult to remove with a larger abrasive disc or wheel.

Special Features
The spiral construction on Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band eliminates shadow marks and chatter. Aluminum oxide mineral cuts sharp but is still friable, fragmenting under heat and pressure to reveal sharp cutting edges, so you get a consistent cut throughout the life of the abrasive. Available in grades 24 to 320 grit, you can choose the right grade for your project, depending how aggressive a scratch you desire. Coarser grades, like 24, are good for heavy stock removal, whereas finer grades, like 320, are good for metal finishing and polishing.

Tips for Optimal Use
Standard Abrasives™ Spiral Bands are intended for use with rubber drums. The single ply or "single thickness" abrasive fits snugly around the drum like a glove. Compared to 2- or 3-ply thicknesses, the single ply is a bit more flexible and conformable, which makes it a good match for contoured surfaces. It is important for both the drum and the abrasive to have the same nominal diameter to prevent skipping and bumping.

Rather than deflecting or skidding over the substrate, the Spiral Band stays in constant contact with the workpiece to swiftly rid the surface of little burrs. The maximum allowable RPM for spiral bands is the same as the maximum RPM of the drum, provided the drum and band have the same nominal diameter. Typically, the rubber drum attaches to portable drills, die grinders, straight shaft and angle grinders. The great news is, the drum requires no extra tools for band changes.

Removing contaminants from flat and contoured surfaces is smooth – in finish and operation.

Trusted Brand And Model

The Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 700518 offers reliable performance with its aluminum oxide mineral. This model is designed for consistent cutting by breaking down to reveal sharp edges. The brand ensures quality in every pack of 100 bands.

Ideal for light finishing and polishing, this spiral band fits various applications. Its tensile strength makes it suitable for both hard and soft metals, providing versatility for different projects.

Precise Size And Dimensions

Each band measures 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch, making it compact and easy to handle. This size allows the abrasive to fit into tight spaces and contours, enhancing its usability on detailed surfaces.

The small dimensions also enable smooth rolling over flat and contoured surfaces, ensuring a consistent finish. This size is perfect for removing parting lines and tiny imperfections efficiently.

Flexible Format And System

The spiral band format is single ply, offering flexibility and tensile strength. This design helps the band conform to both flat and curved surfaces without losing its shape or effectiveness.

Its spiral construction fits easily over rubber drums, allowing for quick band changes without tools. This system reduces downtime and improves workflow during polishing or deburring tasks.

Varied Grades For Tasks

This product comes in grades 60 and 100, providing options for different levels of abrasiveness. Coarser grades like 60 are suitable for heavier stock removal, while 100 works well for finer finishing.

Choosing the right grade helps achieve the desired scratch pattern and surface quality. These grades make the bands adaptable for polishing, blending, and deburring on various metals.

Convenient Pack Size

The bands are sold in a case of 100, ensuring you have enough supply for multiple projects. This pack size supports continuous work without frequent reordering.

Having a large quantity on hand is practical for workshops and professionals who need reliable abrasives for ongoing use. It also offers good value for the price.
