Sigma Z grinds stainless steel welds up to 15 percent faster than other leading wheels. In addition to a high material removal rate, this new wheel features cool grinding, extended wheel life, and a chatter free operation. Engineered to be aggressive on metal and easy on the operator, Sigma Z is precision balanced for a noticeably chatter free and quiet operation. “Sigma Z is the hard working and reliable wheel you’d expect from the Sigma Line,” stated Rex-Cut Abrasives’ President Bob Costa. “Grain and bond advancements allow this wheel to knock down welds in record time.” Sigma Z is available now in 4.5,” 5,” and 7” diameters.

The Aluminator Grinding Wheel by Rex-Cut Abrasives has a new and improved formula for faster weld grinding. It grinds 2.2 times more aluminum weld per minute compared to the original version and as for life, this revised formula outlasts the original wheel by 46 percent.

The Aluminator Grinding Wheel grinds and blends aluminum without clogging or loading. This cotton fiber wheel naturally breaks down as heat is generated, resulting in constant sharp grit being exposed to the aluminum work piece, eliminating loading and the need for wax or grinding aids. Rex-Cut’s Aluminator offers increased grinding action, smooth operator control, very low vibration, with a RA finish of 200.

“In addition to the non-loading properties, the unique construction provides a very consistent metal removal rate for the entire life of the wheel,” stated Rex-Cut Abrasives’ R&D Manager Jon Blake. “Unlike other grinding wheels geared for aluminum, the entire working section of this wheel can be used without sacrificing productivity or finish.”

Rex-Cut is producing this wheel in the original thickness and now a ¼” thick version for additional life.

The Aluminator is now available in 4.5,” 5,” 6,” and 7” diameters, in 36 grit.
