Which Actirox Sanding Disc Should I Be Using?

Designed for high aggression grinding of steel and stainless steel. There are two distinct products within the Actirox sanding disc range, the AF890 and the AF799. Both are designed for angle grinder use and come in 36+, 60+ and 80+ grit sizes.

Which Actirox sanding disc should I be using?

Actirox AF890:

Grain Type: Actirox Ceramic

Bond: Full-resin bonded

Backing: Vulcanised fibre

Developed for use on super alloys and stainless steel, but also suitable for aluminium, unalloyed steel, and non-ferrous metal.

AF890 sets new standards in stock removal and grinding speeds when machining superalloys and stainless steel. With the grinding-active TOP SIZE additional layer, the fibre disc minimises unwanted tarnishing and heat-induced material deformations. AF890 achieves its full performance when used with high-speed angle grinders.

What are the benefits of Actirox Sanding Discs?

  • Maximum stock removal thanks to geometrically shaped ceramic grain leads to a reduction in operating costs
  • More than twice as much stock removal compared to conventional ceramic grain abrasives
  • Increase in productivity: More workpieces per unit of time due to fast cutting
  • Extremely stable dimensions and a durable vulcanized backing satisfy the highest safety requirements
  • The tailored and extremely hard back-up pad VSM TURBO PAD 3 leads to a further increase in stock removal
  • Cool grinding processes and extended service lives thanks to the additional grinding-active layer

Actirox AF799:

Grain Type: Actirox Ceramic

Bond: Full-resin bonded

Backing: Vulcanised fibre

Developed for use on unalloyed steel and aluminium, but also excellent for high aggression grinding of stainless steel and non-ferrous metal.

AF799 optimally extends the range of possible applications: This fibre disc really plays to its strengths when processing unalloyed steels and aluminium. Metal swarf is removed more effectively thanks to reduced chip adhesion.
