January 7, 2019 - CS Unitec, Norwalk, Connecticut, has recently introduced the new PLANTEX® SUNFIRE™ CERAMIC dual-grain disc with 5/8 in. by 11 in. hub that allows users to grind, blend and finish with only one disc. The disc’s 40/60 combination grit grinds like a 40, blends and finishes like a 60, saving considerable working time and extending its service life on all metals (including steel, stainless, titanium, aluminum and bronze). The SUNFIRE’s patented multigrain ceramic-hybrid grit structure provides aggressive material removal as well as controlled blending and finishing.

The disc’s ceramic-hybrid cloth flaps are adhered to a PLANTEX® hemp-based backing plate. The backing plate, composed of 70 percent natural hemp fiber, is stronger, more versatile and safer than traditional backing plates. SUNFIRE’s high-strength construction enables longer run times, while its flexible backing plate more easily conforms to the surface of the workpiece. Suitable for a wide variety of applications, including working in tight spaces, the disc is easily trimmable and can be used to the abrasive’s last fraction of an inch. Ultimately, the PLANTEX® SUNFIRE™ CERAMIC discs run safer – they are fiberglass-free and produce no harsh fumes, airborne fibers or sharp pieces.

Available in 4-1/2 in. and 5 in. diameters, each PLANTEX® SUNFIRE™ CERAMIC disc is capable of removing up to 9 lbs. of material.

Brush Research has introduced a new abrasive for the Flex Hone line. Cubic Boron Nitride combines high hardness with excellent toughness to provide the optimum surface finish in materials like Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar and Rene. The tool reduces the work hardened layer produced by machining operations without imparting thermally induced distortion. The resulting surface is less prone to oxidation and stress-induced cracking.

The resilient Flex-Hone tool features a soft cutting action that provides a surface finish with a non-directional or crosshatched pattern. Fine honing in 400, 600, and 800 grit are available, as is a diamond abrasive that can finish and produce the proper edge radius on harder materials such carbide, ceramic and aerospace steel alloys.
