Premium Quality Industrial Abrasives & Buffing Supplies
I don’t make that claim lightly! All of our abrasives are premium industrial quality engineered and manufactured in the USA* to provide demanding productivity rates and longest life. The advanced manufacturing process combined with the highest quality materials and commitment to customer satisfaction ensures you will obtain superior results and outstanding surface consistency. These are the abrasives I have using in my own heavy industrial fabricating shop since 1996 because they out-performed and out-lasted all others. Our prices are lower not by offering lower quality products but because we buy direct from the manufacturer eliminating the additional costs associated with wholesale purchase. Both myself, and the manufacturer, are absolutely committed to customer service and will be more than happy to address your questions, analyze your current abrasive requirements for efficiency and, if necessary, provide you with custom products tailored to your needs.
