Reach for the Bear-Tex Vortex Rapid Prep AO fine grit non-woven portable in-line belt for final blending applications on challenging surface shapes and a range of metals. The belt delivers consistent cutting action, thanks to the Vortex agglomerated aluminum oxide grain. A resin bond adheres the high-loft nylon fiber to the nylon scrim backing for great longevity and the ideal degree of stiffness. An excellent belt for use on soft metals, including aluminum, as well as nickel alloys, the Vortex combines Clean Bond resin technology and an open coat to deliver smear-free finishes.
