These highly popular, high-quality mounted stones are made with a pure, fused aluminum oxide alloyed with chrome, with a medium vitrified bonding agent. This combination gives it a distinctive pink color. These stones have been popular in Europe for many years because of their versatility, on a variety of steels and alloys where a sharp cutting action is required.
Besides the advantages of being friable and cool cutting, Pink Mounted Stones exhibit markedly better form holding characteristics, making them exceptionally durable, while giving the sharp cut that is needed.
All stones are mounted on 1-1/2" long, 3mm diameter plated steel shanks. Grits vary from 80, 100 and 120. Stones are either sold in packages of 36 or 72, depending on the size of the stone. Also available on 1/8" shanks (see Related Products).
Pink stones can be dressed with our Tru-Stone #380-1030.
For recommended speeds, consult the American National Standards Institute for full information on vitrified mounted wheels.
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 to be aware of any inherent hazards or cautions.
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.
