Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 704624, 1-1/2 in x 1-1/2 in 36, 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.

Brand And Model Overview

The Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 704624 offers reliable performance with its aluminum oxide mineral. This model is designed for consistent cutting, making it a trusted choice for various metalworking tasks.

Its spiral construction reduces shadow marks and chatter, ensuring a smooth finish. The 1-1/2 in x 1-1/2 in size fits well on rubber drums, enhancing its versatility in different applications.

Dimensions And Size Benefits

Measuring 1-1/2 in by 1-1/2 in, this spiral band is compact enough to reach tight spots while covering flat and contoured surfaces effectively. Its size allows for easy handling and precise work on small areas.

The small dimensions also enable the band to fit snugly over rubber drums, which helps maintain consistent contact with the workpiece. This ensures efficient polishing and blending on various metal surfaces.

Grades And Abrasive Options

This product comes in a range of grades from 24 to 320 grit, allowing you to select the right level of abrasiveness for your project. Coarser grades are ideal for heavy stock removal, while finer ones suit polishing and finishing tasks.

The aluminum oxide mineral breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges, providing a consistent cut throughout the abrasive's life. This flexibility in grit choice makes it suitable for both hard and soft metals.

Format And System Features

The spiral band format is designed to fit easily over rubber drums without requiring tools for band changes. This single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, conforming well to both flat and contoured surfaces.

Its spiral construction helps eliminate chatter and shadow marks, improving the quality of the finish. The band rotates centrifugally, making it effective for removing parting lines and small burrs in hard-to-reach areas.

Pack Size And Usage

Available in a pack of 100 each per case, this quantity supports continuous use in professional settings. The pack size ensures you have enough bands for multiple projects or extended work periods without frequent reordering.

Designed for use with portable drills, die grinders, and angle grinders, the bands maintain constant contact with the workpiece. This makes them excellent for polishing, blending, and deburring tasks on various metal surfaces.
