RazorStar Products, Mini Vortex Rapid Prep Flap Discs and More

Saint-Gobain Abrasives has announced that attendees are invited to get to know Norton and its best tier abrasive products at FABTECH 2025, booth B35007. Norton abrasives to be highlighted at FABTECH will include the latest in grinding, cut-off, blending and finishing solutions to address today's challenging application requirements. Norton continually researches, designs and manufactures abrasives, in addition to providing grinding application guidance, prioritizing the user experience.

Norton RazorStar belts, quick-change and fiber discs feature innovative engineered-shaped ceramic grain suited for tough grinding applications when performing off-hand and/or automated grinding. Razor-sharp grains are oriented in an upright position along with a special supersized grinding aid, reducing heat generation for cooler cuts and longer life on a range of materials such as carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, nickel alloys and other hard-to-grind metals. In addition to impact grinding and off-hand applications, RazorStar belts are designed for robotic applications in markets such as aerospace, automotive, oil and gas and general machining.

Additional abrasives to be highlighted at Norton's FABTECH booth will include:

• Debuting at FABTECH are the newest addition to the Vortex Rapid Prep line, with 2" and 3" Mini Flap Discs. The new sizes are designed for those tighter hard to reach spaces within the aerospace and metal fabrication markets. Constructed with layers of surface conditioning material and Vortex grain technology, used on a pneumatic die grinder, these offer customers the same cutting power of a coarser grit while achieving a finer finish, the company reported.
• Norton Vortex Rapid Prep Non-Woven Flap Discs last longer and produce significantly increased cutting rates and smear-free finishes simultaneously, according to the company. Norton patented Vortex agglomerated aluminum oxide grain technology enables the cutting power of a coarser grit while producing a finer finish in one abrasives disc solution.
• Norton Vortex Rapid Blend Coarse Grit Wheels and Discs offer a finishing process solution that reduces and blends welds in a single operation, providing a 30% - 50% improvement in productivity, while leaving smear-free finishes.
• Norton QUANTUM3T (NQ3) Line of Grinding and Cutting Wheels cut fast and sharp, achieving increased metal removal in less time, with reduced operator fatigue, to increase grinding output and lower costs. The wheels feature a proprietary grain along with a tougher bond system containing a unique combination of fillers and bonding agents.

FABTECH attendees can also learn about the Norton Abrasive Process Solutions (APS) Program, which helps customers determine the optimal grinding or finishing solution for the application at hand, ranging from simple to complex, off-hand or automated, and for metal fabrication, production grinding and virtually any abrasives operation.
