Hand drill Specialties

Boasting a large selection of shapes, sizes and grains, the 'specialties' range of abrasives can be used in general purpose applications as well as more specific or problematic applications. They are ideal for grinding and blending intricately shaped and contoured components or for high speed, accurate grinding. Specialties are commonly used on a drill or die grinder and include spirabands, pencil rolls, square pads, cartridge rolls and sanding stars.

Spirabands

Spirabands are made of abrasive cloth which is rolled and glued onto a cotton backing. They can be used on portable tools such as die grinders and must be fitted on the correct size serrated rubber holder. Spirabands can be used on metals including steel, stainless steel, leather, glass, plastic and wood for paint stripping operations, surface cleaning and grinding applications.

Cartridge rolls

Used on inside surfaces and corners where other abrasive shapes cannot reach. Typically these are used on high speed die grinders and are always mounted on a mandrel. Ideal for flash removal, polishing, or removing machine tool marks, and edge breaking. They also can be used for deburring and finishing operations on metals including steel and stainless steel .

Square Pads & cross pads

Square pads are ideal for quick blending of channels, fillets, corners, or spotting flat surfaces. Cross pads provide greater flexibility, making them ideal for close-tolerance polishing of small radii and channels, deburring, and finishing of bell-mouth configurations, such as deburring, chamfering, and polishing most radii, holes, recesses, and cylinder walls. Both feature standard quick-change eyelet for easy mounting to quick-change mandrel.

Cones

Tapered cone points give excellent accessibility to many difficult-to-reach work areas. They are used for deburring holes and in close tolerance work areas. They are mounted on a cone holder.

Sanding Stars

Sanding stars are the ideal tool for deburring and polishing difficult to access metal applications. They remove sharp edges and flash which can cause manual handling problems (e.g. finger cuts) on irregular or awkward sized components. Made from flexible top quality aluminium oxide abrasive cloth, sanding stars are the ideal finishing product for making the operator's task easier.

Naumkeag Caps

Shoe making and repair requires specially designed products for precision cleaning and finishing of leather and rubber. For this traditional business, Norton provides specially shaped products like naumkeag caps for fast and consistent results in leather cleaning and preparation, shaping rubber and leather soles and glue removal.

Cross buffs

Cross Buffs are ideal for polishing and cleaning inside diameters and hard-to-reach areas on metal surfaces. They offer a unique design with durable non-woven construction for longer life and cool running when removing oxidation and preparing surfaces, prior to coating aircraft parts and ID grinding in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Quick change discs

From cleaning and stripping to final finishing with just one system. With just one turn, discs can be changed easily. No slipping, no sticking and always centrally running. Less downtime for tool changes. Quick change discs are commonly used on mini grinders for weld blending, aggressive stock removal, light deburring, blending, cleaning and finishing.
