Designed for use with hand tools and angle grinders, these Rapid Strip discs combine non-woven nylon fibers with resin-anchored silicon carbide or ceramic alumina grain. They deliver aggressive cutting action while maintaining a cool, non-loading surface and long service life, making them excellent for metal fabrication and maintenance.
