G-Flex is non-loading & runs cool. GREAT for aluminum! G-Flex cotton fiber products utilize a firm resin bond with laminates of non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive-impregnated fabric. Laminations run parallel to the shank to prevent the ends from chipping. As the tool is used, new abrasive grain is continually exposed. With G-Flex you can grind and finish in one operation. A special formulation keeps it from being too aggressive so G-Flex works well on aluminum, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. It's a favorite for cleaning and polishing mold runners, as well as deburring and edge breaking on all metals. Also great for deflashing of die castings, as well as deburring and finishing of turbine blade roots.
All are on 1/8" shanks (some 3mm shanks are coded, all can be special ordered, please call or email us for more information). See Grinding Wheel Institute publications for operating speeds of mounted cylinders.

| Industry | Typical Applications for GMX & G-Flex |
|---|---|
| Aircraft/Aerospace: | Debur and finish engine components |
| Automotive: | Debur, chamfer, and finish machined/cast parts |
| Tool & Die: | Clean, debur and finish |
| Fabrication: | Corner blending, edge breaking, I.D. & O.D. debur and blend |
| Jewelry Manufacturing: | Remove parting lines and finish castings |
| GMX or G-Flex? | |
|---|---|
| GMX has a softer bond than G-Flex. GMX utilizes a unique flexible bond with laminates of non-woven abrasive-impregnated fabric. Laminations run parallel to the shank to prevent the ends from chipping. The construction continually exposes new abrasive grain for cooler running and the flexible bond reduces vibration and chattering. Unlike bonded or coated abrasives, GMX does not load up when working on softer metals or alloys such as aluminum. Cylinders and shapes can be dressed to conform to unique contours. GMX is excellent for breaking edges, deburring, and blending on aluminum, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. It's also ideal for polishing mold runners and mold & die components. |
G-Flex is similar to GMX but uses a firm resin bond. G-Flex is non-loading and can grind and finish in one operation. A special formulation keeps G-Flex from being too aggressive and works well on aluminum, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. Producing a slightly finer finish than GMX, G-Flex is another favorite for cleaning and polishing mold runners as well as deburring and edge breaking on all metals. Also works great for deflashing of die castings as well as deburring and finishing of turbine blade roots. |
