Produce smear-free finishes on your metal work projects by using Bear-Tex Vortex Rapid Prep AO medium grit non-woven standard back-up pad disc, which includes Clean Bond resin technology. The disc has a longer life than competitor discs, due to its strong nylon fiber construction. The Vortex agglomerated aluminum oxide grain supplies cutting power equivalent to coarse grit, yet it still produces a fine finish. The discs work with a variety of metals, such as stainless steels, tool steels, aluminum, iron, fiberglass, composites, carbon steels, super alloys and titanium.
