Standard Abrasives A/O Spiral Band 709016, 1/2 in x 1-1/2 in 40, 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 709016 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 abrasive band is designed to handle both hard and soft metals. Its spiral construction helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter, making it a dependable choice for detailed work.

Precise Size And Dimensions

This product measures 1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch, providing a compact size that fits well in tight spaces. The small dimensions allow the spiral band to easily roll over flat and contoured surfaces for smooth finishing.

Thanks to its size, the band can fit inside hard-to-reach areas, making it perfect for removing parting lines and tiny imperfections. Its spiral shape enhances contact with the workpiece for effective polishing and blending.

Flexible Single Ply Format

The 40 grit spiral band comes in a single ply abrasive format, which is flexible and tensile. This allows it to conform well to both flat and contoured surfaces, improving the quality of the finish.

Its single thickness fits snugly over rubber drums without tools, making band changes quick and easy. This flexibility also helps prevent skipping and bumping during use, ensuring smooth operation.

Spiral Band Format Benefits

The spiral band format is designed to fit easily over rubber drums, providing a secure and stable fit. This format helps maintain constant contact with the workpiece, which is essential for removing burrs and imperfections.

Because the band rotates centrifugally, it smoothly rolls over surfaces without deflecting or skidding. This makes it a great choice for polishing and blending both flat and contoured areas.

Bulk Pack Convenience

This product comes in a pack of 100 each, offering great value for frequent use. Having a large quantity on hand ensures you can complete multiple projects without running out of abrasive bands.

The bulk pack size is ideal for workshops and professionals who need consistent supplies. It supports continuous work without interruptions, especially when paired with compatible rubber drums.
