The Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Buff and Blend Roll combines nylon strands and aluminum oxide with a resin bond, resulting in an open web that is responsive and durable enough for deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing. Available in a versatile range of grades and sizes, you can choose the right roll for your application.
- Open web is load resistant, reducing the likelihood of abrasive clogging with debris, thereby prolonging service life
- Aluminum Oxide mineral is friable and breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges for a consistent cut
- Abrasive may be run wet to help wash away swarf and keep abrasive running cool, minimizing potential for heat-induced smearing and blemishes
- Roll form may be shaped according to application requirements
- Versatile selection of Buff and Blend materials are available to ensure the right roll for each application

The benefit of using this roll is that it offers a consistent finish without sacrificing productivity.
-
What are some common industries that use this product?
This abrasive roll is commonly used in the metalworking, woodworking, plastics, and composite manufacturing industries.
-
Is this product easy to use?
Yes! Its flexible design conforms well to contour surfaces for efficient finishing.
-
How long can I expect this abrasive roll to last?
This depends on how often you use it and what type of material you're working with. However, these rolls are built with durability in mind so they should remove stock effectively over time.
-
Do I need any special equipment to use this product?
You don't necessarily need special equipment to make good use out of our A/O Buff and Blend Roll. If you have access to an electric or pneumatic dependent speed buffer/ polisher machine then that would help simplify things but not necessary for all applications
The Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Buff and Blend Roll is a versatile abrasive that can be used for a variety of industrial jobs, including deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing. This roll can be used to:
- Blend minor surface imperfections, handling marks, and secondary burrs on coated abrasives
- Remove minor surface oxidation and rust when prepping surfaces for coating
- Remove part lines from small castings, small burrs from threaded parts, and flash from plastic molded parts
- Produce fine grain finishes on stainless steel after weld removal and use for cosmetic finishing on aluminum castings
The key to using the Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Buff and Blend Roll effectively is to choose the right Buff & Blend material for the specific project. Different Buff & Blend materials were created for different applications, and the materials help distinguish one roll from another.
Choosing the Right Buff & Blend MaterialEach of the Standard Abrasives Buff & Blend materials offers unique benefits. The materials include:
- GP: A general-purpose material that delivers a high cut rate and consistent finish. It's great for intermediate cleaning, blending, deburring, and finishing.
- AP: A more aggressive material than GP that produces a coarser finish.
- HS and HS-F: High-strength materials that are tear-resistant and ideal for final finishing on irregularly-shaped parts. HS-F is the best material for light deburring and finishing.
The Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Buff and Blend Rolls come in varying widths, from 1 inch to 38 inches, to fit a range of sanding tools. These rolls can be used on orbital or straight-line sanders to produce matte and satin finishes or may be cut and shaped for hand-sanding applications.
The Many Benefits of Open Web AbrasivesEvery Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Buff and Blend Roll features nonwoven nylon strands and aluminum oxide mineral mixed with resin. Gaps between the nylon fibers allow unwanted swarf to escape, enhancing load resistance. As the abrasive is less likely to clog with debris, the mineral keeps cutting sharper, longer. Wear and tear from excess buildup is reduced. The open web material is also waterproof and may be used with lubricants, which help to keep the abrasive running cool and wash away swarf. The load-resistant properties of the web, combined with the swarf-cleaning action of the lubricant, help to prevent workpiece contamination. Rolls may be used on a variety of substrates: ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminum, high nickel/chrome alloys, and stainless steel. This abrasive is designed to help tackle industrial applications with efficiency and ease.
