These mounted stones incorporate a unique Sol Gel ceramic abrasive (3M Cubitron grain). The Sol Gel abrasive, produced by Sol Gel processing, is both hard and tough. It provides exceptional durability and cut rates in grinding mild, high-carbon and stainless steel as well as many nonferrous alloys. Under normal use, cut rate and wheel life are two to three times that of Red and Blue Mounted Stones.

Particularly suited for precision grinding. Form and radius holding are greatly increased due to Sol Gel's durability. Light Blue Mounted Stones are extremely tough in all grades, chemically pure and of uniform quality. All are 120 grit. Can be dressed with our Tru-Stone #380-1030. All shapes also available on 1/8" shanks (see Related Products).


Important: Abrasive stones break down during mold and die polishing, grinding, tool sharpening, and dressing of cutting & grinding wheels. The resulting dust is classified by OSHA as inert or nuisance dust. Please consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for each stone; data provided therein pertains primarily to the dust produced during and after use. Please note that hazards may change when abrasive stones are used in conjunction with solvents, cutting fluids or other chemicals. For more complete information, consult the Material Safety Data Sheets of chemical products used with abrasive stone products.

Before using any abrasive product, follow all safe operating guidelines with respect to eye protection, hand protection, hearing protection and respiratory protection. Also read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to be aware of any inherent hazards or cautions.
