Flexible Diamond Velcro Backing Sanding Disc,Metal Bond Resists Wear and Anchors Diamond metal bond securely anchors micron-graded diamonds to a flexible cloth backing in an open dot pattern. Metal bonds are known to be tough and durable binding agents when it comes to adhering mineral to a backing. How to Identify the Three Open-Dot Patterns Flexible Diamond Velcro Cloth Disc comes in three patterns: D1, D2 and D3. Here's how to distinguish between the three. Pattern D3 is a small-dot pattern, designed for finer finishes, grade for grade D2 is a medium-dot pattern designed for aggressive cutting action. It has improved coolant flow, given the spacing of the dots Pattern D1 is the largest dot pattern and it's ideal for applications where loading is a problem. The gaps in the mineral design allow swarf and debris to escape Overall, the open dot pattern whether tight or condensed delivers aggressive cutting action while reducing loading. Given its dual strength and flexibility, the Flexible Diamond Velcro Backing Cloth Disc is a great abrasive for your hard to grind materials.Importantly, this diamond abrasive with a Velcro (hook and loop) backing for easier attachment. The hook and loop backing allows swift and easy change-out of discs, especially when the task requires multiple discs in a sequence. Recommended Applications Glass grinding and edge seaming Fast leveling on stone inlay, glass, ceramic Polishing stone, gems, composites, concrete and metal Removing deep scratches in stone, glass or composites left by previous steps Hard to grind materials

1. Diamond Abrasives: This sanding disc is equipped with micron-graded diamond abrasives, which are known for their exceptional hardness and durability. These synthetic diamonds are precisely bonded to the disc's surface, ensuring efficient material removal and polishing.

2. Velcro (Hook and Loop) Backing: The disc has a Velcro backing, often referred to as a hook and loop backing. This makes it easy to attach and detach the disc from compatible sanding tools. It allows for quick disc changes, which is particularly useful when multiple discs are needed for a task.

3. Flexibility: The disc is designed to be flexible, allowing it to conform to the contours of the workpiece. This flexibility is especially valuable when sanding or polishing curved or irregular surfaces.

4. Applications: The Flexible Diamond Velcro Backing Sanding Disc is versatile and finds applications in various industries, including:

• Metalworking: It can be used for deburring, shaping, and polishing metal surfaces.

• Glass and Ceramics: Ideal for smoothing and shaping glass edges and polishing ceramics and porcelain.

• Stone and Concrete: Effective for grinding and polishing natural and engineered stone, as well as concrete surfaces.

• Jewelry Making: Jewelry makers use this disc for shaping and polishing gemstones and precious metals.

• Woodworking: While less common in woodworking, it can be used for specific tasks like sharpening and honing certain tools.

5. Grit Sizes: Like traditional sandpaper, this sanding disc comes in various grit sizes, ranging from coarse for material removal to fine for finishing and polishing.

6. Wet and Dry Use: It can be used either wet or dry, depending on the application. Wet sanding is often preferred when working on materials that generate heat to prevent overheating.
