Metal Abrasives for Sale

Industrial Abrasives for Metal Fabrication

Grinding, Polishing & Finishing Abrasives

Metal abrasives remove excess material from your workpiece to finish with a clean and polished product. Waters Industrial offers a wide variety of industrial abrasive tools, discs, pads, and compounds to get your work finished properly.

Abrasive Pads & Belts

Choose the right abrasive tools for your project:

5-point abrasive pads are best for grinding, polishing, weld blending and removal work on irregular shapes and parts. As pad corners wear down, fresh abrasive is exposed for consistent removal power. 5-point pads can be used on stainless steel, steel, and aluminum. 

Square metal abrasive pads are ideal for ID & OD weld removal and finishing, as well as blending and finishing on stainless steel, steel, and aluminum. 

Abrasive cross pads should be used for light stock removal and finishing inner diameters of stainless steel pipes and tubes. Cross pads offer greater flexibility than square pads when dealing with inner dimensions. The point of contact remains visible throughout the finishing process.

Available abrasive belt types include: 

• Aluminum oxide: made with a strong cloth backing and grinding additives for heat-sensitive alloys.
• Ceramic: top-of-the-line ceramic abrasive grain and special aluminum oxide minerals on a YF-weight synthetic backing. Ceramic belts incorporate grinding aids for best performance on stainless steel and hi-nickel alloys.
• Surface conditioning: coarse-grit surfacing conditioning belts are used for rust removal, decorative finishing, grind line conditioning and blending on a variety of metals including stainless steel.
• Trizact™: resin bonded to resist heat and feature grinding aids for cooler grinding. Use a Trizact™ belt for slack of belt operations, sharp inside radius sanding, and edge of belt sanding. The scalloped edges will not dig into your workpiece.

Custom starter abrasive kits are available with every part you may need. Starter packages can include straight, extension and right angle pneumatic grinders. A selection of coated, grinding and flap discs are offered with your choice of grinding, polishing and cutoff wheels. For fast grind-blending, thin and standard five-point pads, as well as square pads will get the best blend on your unique job. No metal project is complete without finishing buffs, compounds, and abrasive and surface conditioning belts.
