May 12, 2020 - Rex-Cut Abrasives, Fall River, Massachusetts, introduces Cotton Fiber Max Mounted Points for rapid stock removal with a low roughness average.

Cotton Fiber Max Mounted Points are manufactured with extra aluminum oxide grain in a specially formulated bond and can reduce grinding steps for various fabrication applications. The new points are a more aggressive solution than the standard cotton fiber points and leave a much better finish compared to resinoid points on all metals. Cotton Fiber Max points are suitable for grinding and blending stainless steel, aluminum, and numerous other metals. 

“The new Cotton Fiber Max Mounted Points remove 85 percent more stainless steel and 46 percent more aluminum than their standard cotton fiber counterparts. If metal removal is your goal, we suggest Max Mounted Points.” states Bob Costa, President of Rex-Cut Abrasives

Cotton Fiber Max Mounted Points are available 36 grit in various shapes. For a mounted point shape chart, visit rexcut.com/mpchart.

March 31, 2020 - Rex-Cut Abrasives, Fall River, Massachusetts, announces Velocity Mounted Points, a new solution for fast stock removal on small or hard to reach work areas.

Velocity Mounted Points are constructed with a zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide grain blend in a resin bond. These rugged points are suitable for grinding stainless steel and other heat sensitive materials. The premium grain and hard bond blend give Velocity Mounted Points long life and excellent performance on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Velocity Mounted Points are the latest addition to Rex-Cut’s popular line of Mounted points and can be used for more aggressive applications such as weld grinding, rapid stock removal, heavy deburring, tool sharpening, and more.

“Our new points remove on average 48% more stainless steel than similar products in the market,” States Bob Costa, President of Rex-Cut Abrasives. “Providing products that minimize time spent grinding welds is our goal.”

Velocity Mounted Points are available in 11 different shapes and 2 different grits.

30 grit: A1, A3, A11, W189, W197, W208, W220, W221, W222 shapes

36 grit: W164 and W179 shapes

January 21, 2020 - Rex-Cut Abrasives, Fall River, Massachusetts, announces a new line of alumina zirconia grinding wheels for pipe welding applications, the Velocity Pipeliner and the Velocity Grinding Wheel.

Velocity Pipeliner is a rugged wheel designed to withstand the pressures of pipe beveling, smoothing flame cut edges, and root pass grinding in the oil and gas pipeline industry. The premium grain and hard bond blend give Velocity long life and excellent wheel performance on stainless steel and high tensile alloys.

A ¼ in. thick version, Velocity Grinding Wheel, is available for general fabrication applications such as heavy weld grinding, beveling hard steels, grinding casting parting lines, or removing weld deposits.

The Velocity Grinding Wheel has maximum stock removal rate balanced with extended wheel life on stainless steel and ferrous metals such as structural steel and iron. 

Velocity Pipeliner is available in alumina zirconia 30 grit in 4-1/2 in. by 5/32 in. by 7/8 in. and 4-1/2 in. by 5/32 in. by 5/8-11. Velocity Grinding Wheel is available in alumina zirconia 24 grit in 4-1/2 in. by 1/4 in. by 7/8 in. and 4-1/2 in. by 1/4 in. by 5/8-11.

December 18, 2018 - Rex-Cut Abrasives, Fall River, Massachusetts, announces the Aluminator, a new solution to Aluminum Grinding that prevents clogging and loading.

Typically when grinding aluminum, bonded wheels overheat the metal causing chips of aluminum to embed right into the grinding wheel, this is commonly referred to as clogging or loading. Eventually there will be no grit exposed, only deposits of aluminum on the face of the wheel. Normally a wax or grinding aid would be necessary to prevent this issue, but that is no longer the case.

Rex-Cut’s new Aluminator T27 Cotton Fiber Grinding Wheel grinds aluminum without any clogging or loading. Cotton Fiber Wheels naturally break down as heat is generated, resulting in constant sharp grit being exposed to the aluminum work piece. This eliminates loading, costly downtime, and the need and expense for wax or grinding aids. The Aluminator offers increased grinding action, greatly improved surface finishing, smooth operator control, and long life. With less noise, less vibration, and safer operating conditions; the Aluminator T27 Cotton Fiber Grinding Wheel is assured to make your Aluminum grinding experience smooth.

“One complaint we hear from fabricators working with aluminum is the need to take extra time to thoroughly clean lubricant residue from work surfaces after grinding. This happens from either grinding aids added to structure of the abrasive product, or waxes used in conjunction with grinding wheels,” states Jon Blake, R&D Manager. “When we designed this wheel, we kept in mind the need for an aluminum grinding wheel that will grind fast and consistent while being 100% lubricant free. This allows fabricators to grind and move on to the next step without stopping to clean their work piece.”

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

Rex-Cut Abrasives provides metalworkers with premium grinding, blending and deburring products including grinding wheels, unitized mounted points, premium flap discs, and specialized cut-off wheels. These products, as well as the new Type 1 Laser Braze Finishing Wheels, Versa-Cut Cut-Off Wheel and Quick Change Disc Max are featured in Rex-Cut’s new 2017/2018 catalog.
