Rolls of abrasive material are often useful and economical for hand use or to cut as required for orbital sanders etc. They give the benefit of being usable in as long a length as required.
We offer rolls in cloth, paper and non-woven (Tex) forms:
Cloth-backed is most commonly used for hand work on metal, such as cleaning whilst turning.
Paper-backed abrasives are used more for fine / detail finishing and in the paint preparation shop.
Non-woven abrasive is ideal for hand work as it is highly flexible, easy on the hands and does not easily load. Used in roll form it can be more economic and convenient than using standard sized hand pads.
