Abrasive spiral bands, or spirabands use an interlined cotton sleeve to create a strong and durable abrasive band designed for shaping in curves and radiuses.
If you need to do some aggressive metal removal on steel or stainless steel we strongly recommend using the new high performance ceramic spirabands.
For approximately 20% more the ceramic spiral sleeves will last 3 or 4 times as long and cut faster.
n.b. Spirabands will have significantly increased aggression over a flap wheel due to the higher pressure contact achieved.
Mandrels for the spirabands can be found at the following link: Spiraband Mandrels. Or often from a link at the bottom of the individual product pages.
To select the correct mandrel to fit your mandrel we have made the mandrel code match the product. For example:
The 40 grit ceramic spiral band size 60 x 30mm has the part number: SHS/40/6030.
The equivalent spiraband mandrel has the part number code: SHSH//6030
