Medium and Very Fine Grades are Well-Suited for Deburring and Finishing Irregular-Shaped Parts
Among the four Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend materials, HS material is the most stiff, durable and aggressive. Given its strength and durability, our Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend HS Wheel is a good match for irregular-shaped parts, such as pipe threads, the edges of molded glass containers, and non-ferrous die cast molded parts. It removes small, stubborn burrs and cuts sharp to produce a consistent finish. Non-woven construction makes the material responsive to contours and extrusions while minimizing gouging or marring of the substrate.

Aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to the nylon strands produces a uniform scratch pattern - ideal for satin or grain finishing. Use a Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend HS Wheel for high luster and decorative finishing on brass, steel, bronze, pewter, and stainless steel, as well as plated plastics. The permanently affixed 1/4" shank eliminates "ganging" of individual discs to form a sturdier wheel.

1, 2 or 3-Ply Wheels
Choose between 1-ply, 2-ply and 3-ply options. The 1-ply wheel has the greatest flexibility for reaching into tubing and other tight spaces. The 2-ply option provides added stiffness, while the 3-ply wheel is the best choice when strength is desired over flexibility.

HS Medium (Blue Wheel) Applications

• Edge breaking, deburring and finishing of edges and welds
• Satin and grain finishing of metal surfaces
• Cleaning surface contamination
• Easily finishes contoured parts
• Produces a clean finish, without irregular scratches and "sparkles"
• Markets include stainless steel fabricators, plumbing fixtures, door hardware, food equipment manufacturers, aluminum extruded products, aircraft engine manufacturers, orthopedic implants

HS Very Fine (Maroon Wheel) Applications

• Light deburring and final finishing of small, irregular shaped parts
• Light edge breaking on machined or stamped parts
• Edge radiusing
• Deburring threaded parts
• Pre-finish of precious metals prior to polishing
• Markets include aerospace, aircraft equipment, foundries, machine builders, machine shops, and mold and die shops

When your application calls for an even lighter-duty disc or if the final finish isn't as critical, we suggest our Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend GP or HP products. For off-hand and automated finishing processes, we recommend the loftier Buff and Blend HS-F Wheel.
