Note: Picture at left shows both GMX and G-Flex. All shapes shown are available in either GMX or G-Flex styles, except for W186 which is available only in GMX.
GMX cotton fiber products utilize a unique flexible latex bond with laminates of non-woven aluminum oxide 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. The flexible bond allows for reduced vibration and chattering.
NEW! B41 Cone, B52 Bullet, and 2 Ball shapes for deburring holes & radiuses.
GMX is non-loading & runs cool. GREAT for aluminum!
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. Excellent for breaking edges, deburring, and blending on aluminum, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. GMX is also ideal for polishing mold runners and mold & die components.
See Grinding Wheel Institute publications for operating speeds of mounted cylinders.
All are on 1/8" shanks. (Available with 1/4" shank, 3mm and 6mm shanks by special order. Please email us for a quote, be sure to specify Style# and quantities needed.)
