Flexible abrasives
Applications guide
R-Flex points for cleaning and finishing and R-Flex wheels are
ideally suited for fine machining surfaces thanks to their elastically
embedded grit. Matching any type of possible application, Klingspor
offers an extensive range of tools with a large variety of dimensions,
grit sizes and three different kinds of bonding agents (hard, medium
and soft). The chart below provides an overview of the available
versions:
