Versatile Utility Available in a broad range of grades for versatile utility, the Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Handy Roll has a flexible, J-weight cloth backing for conformability to circular edges, angles, or other contours. A cloth backing offers the durability needed to bend, fold, or roll the strip without it tearing or shelling, providing a convenient solution for hand sanding hard-to-reach surfaces. Common applications include deburring, blending and repairing metal finishes, rust or other contaminant removal, and preparing surfaces for paints and coatings. A necessity in machine and maintenance shops, strips from the roll can be used on a turning part or on a split mandrel, as well as by hand. The full resin bond lends added durability to support a wide range of applications and extends the life of the abrasive. Multipurpose Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Aluminum oxide (AO) is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. AO is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
