Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 705998, 3/4 in x 1 in 80, 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 Model

The Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 705998 offers reliable performance with its aluminum oxide mineral. This friable mineral breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges, ensuring a consistent cut throughout the abrasive's life. The model 705998 is designed specifically for light finishing and polishing tasks.

Ideal for blending and deburring on both hard and soft metals, this spiral band fits easily over rubber drums. Its spiral construction helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter, making it a trusted choice for detailed metalwork.

Precise Dimensions And Size

The spiral band measures 3/4 inch by 1 inch, providing a compact size that fits well in tight or hard-to-reach areas. This size allows for smooth rolling over flat and contoured surfaces, enhancing control during polishing and blending.

Its single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, conforming to various shapes without losing effectiveness. The small dimensions make it perfect for removing parting lines, tiny imperfections, and burrs that larger abrasives might miss.

Grade Options For Versatility

This product comes in grades 80 and 100, offering options depending on the level of aggressiveness needed. Coarser grades like 80 are suitable for heavier stock removal, while finer grades such as 100 work well for finishing and polishing tasks.

Choosing the right grade ensures you get the desired scratch pattern and surface finish. The availability of multiple grades in one case allows for flexibility across different projects and materials.

Spiral Format Technology Benefits

The spiral band format easily fits over rubber drums without requiring tools for band changes. This design simplifies setup and reduces downtime during abrasive replacement, making it convenient for continuous work.

The spiral construction also helps maintain constant contact with the workpiece, preventing deflection or skidding. This ensures efficient removal of burrs and contaminants on both flat and contoured surfaces.

Case Quantity And Packaging

This product is sold in a pack of 100 each per case, providing ample supply for extended use. Having a large quantity on hand supports uninterrupted workflow and reduces the need for frequent reordering.

The packaging is designed to keep the spiral bands organized and protected, preserving their quality until use. This makes it easier to manage inventory and maintain consistent performance across jobs.
