CMD Engineering, a miniature trains manufacturer and supplier, were looking to create a burr-free appearance on their mini trains, as well as a pre-paint finish. To achieve this result, they used Norton Rapid Blend finish discs.Chris Dixon used a 4 1/2" angle grinder with the Rapid Blend disc to create the high shine. On sheet steel he used the disc with light pressure to remove 'Mill Scale' and to remove slight burrs from the laser cutting process. He also used the disc with firmer pressure to remove weld spatter, scratches and to gently radius edges on structural steel.The results showed that the Norton Rapid Blend disc massively reduces production time as it can all be done in one go. Chris explained he normally would have to use a 120 grit flap disc followed by hand sanding to achieve a pre-paint finish. The outcome shows it refined and finished the steel to a very high shine. Furthermore, Chris has also been using the Norton Rapid Blend disc to clean up and polish brass on name plates that he makes.WATCH OUR SURFACE CONDITIONING DISCS IN ACTION + |
