Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 703579, 1-1/2 in x 1-1/2 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.

Standard Abrasives Brand Quality

The Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 703579 offers reliable performance with its trusted brand name. This model features aluminum oxide mineral that breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges, ensuring a consistent cut throughout use.

Ideal for light finishing and polishing, this spiral band is designed to blend and deburr both hard and soft metals. Its spiral construction also helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter for a smooth finish.

Precise Size And Format

This abrasive band measures 1-1/2 in by 1-1/2 in, making it compact and easy to handle. The spiral band format fits snugly over rubber drums, allowing it to conform well to flat and contoured surfaces.

Its single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, which enhances its ability to roll smoothly over surfaces. This size and format combination makes it perfect for reaching tight or hard-to-access areas.

Grades For Every Task

The product comes in a range of grades, including 60 and 100 grit, allowing you to select the right level of abrasiveness. Coarser grits like 60 are suitable for heavier stock removal, while finer grits like 100 work well for polishing and finishing.

These grade options ensure you can tailor the abrasive action to your specific project needs, whether you’re removing burrs or refining a surface.

Easy Tool-Free Changes

One of the standout features of the Standard Abrasives Spiral Band 703579 is that no tools are required for band changes. This saves time and effort during use, making it convenient for frequent swaps.

The spiral band’s design allows it to fit securely on rubber drums, which attach to various power tools like portable drills and grinders. This compatibility enhances its versatility across different applications.

Pack Size And Convenience

This product is sold in a pack of 100 each per case, providing ample supply for multiple projects or extended use. The pack size supports consistent workflow without frequent reordering.

Having 100 spiral bands on hand ensures you can maintain productivity, especially when working on detailed polishing, blending, or deburring tasks that require frequent abrasive changes.
