SANDING BELTS and GRINDING WHEELS

Learn how to choose between sanding belts and grinding wheels for each deburring process. Access quick guides with recommended grit sizes and material-specific applications. Get better results and enhance equipment performance while boosting your foundry's productivity with Rebel.

SANDING BELT Recommended grit sizes

• Iron & Steel:

  • #16–24: Heavy stock removal

  • #30–36: Standard deburring

  • #46: Surface preparation with less aggression

• Aluminum:

  • #60–80: Light deburring and controlled material removal

  • #100–150: Finer finishing or pre-anodizing preparation

  • #Avoid very coarse grits (36–46) to prevent deep scratches and loading

Ceramic abrasives are highly recommended for continuous or automated operations, delivering consistent performance and extended tool life across all materials.

GRINDING WHEEL Advantages

• High removal rates with minimal vibration

• Greater elasticity compared to vitrified wheels

• Safer in manual and high-speed operations

• Suitable for heavy-duty grinding of gates, risers, and parting lines

Recommended Grit Sizes

• 16–24: Heavy stock removal

• 30–36: General-purpose deburring

• 46: Moderate surface smoothing

For best performance, use with machines equipped with proper guarding and dust extraction.
