Premium, folded coated abrasive strips allow for some flexibility while providing a more narrow, aggressive face for grinding than a strip ring airway - perfect for diamond plate, step grating, slots, grooves, and counter-sunk areas.

Wide, V-folded 320 grit cloth sanding belt fingers are tacked consecutively in a cardboard center, more aggressively grinding coatings leveling textures surfaces even between obstacles like step grating and diamond plate. More aggressive than the strip ring buff, this produces a finish roughly equivalent to a 400 grit sanding disc. Like the strip ring buffs, finish and stock removal can be modified with speed and pressure:

• Increase RPMs and use reduced pressure to grind more aggressively.
• Reduce RPMs and use increased pressure to allow the strips to splay out and blend.

Unlike paper discs, much less prone to glazing and loading. Especially useful for:

• Removing tar, adhesive, silicone, etc.
• Removing Durabrite/Accushield coatings
• Grinding down areas inaccessible to conventional sanding tools (drive wheel water channel, diamond plate, step grating, welds, cast aluminum, etc.)

Coated abrasive strips have abrasive grains bonded to a flexible cloth backing, whereas non-woven abrasives consist of abrasive grains embedded in a nylon fiber matrix. Coated abrasives are often preferred where aggressive stock removal and increased lifespan is desired.

Pairs with: Coated abrasive buffs are not used with buffing compounds; the abrasive effect is (typically) achieved by aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasives bonded to a cloth backing. They can, however, be paired with sanding greases to produce a more forgiving cut and extend their lifespan.

Coated abrasive buffing wheels do not need raking. Cardboard center has a 1/2" arbor hole suitable for 5/8" handheld grinding tools. Requires end flanges for safe mounting - reversed self-centering flanges will work.

Please note that Hilzinger-Thum/Hilzinger America will not warranty buffing wheels run at excessive speeds. Do so at your own risk.

Hilzinger-Thum has been making buffing and grinding tools for over 120 years and is one of the few companies recommended by Menzerna for buffing wheels. Using the highest quality raw materials available, Hilzinger America in Ohio continues their tradition by producing customized buffing wheels for Spectrum.
