Abrasive Innovations from Norton

Saint-Gobain Abrasives announced that attendees are invited to discover its latest advancements in abrasive technology at FABTECH 2026, booth S37052. Norton will showcase a comprehensive range of grinding, cutting, blending, and finishing solutions for demanding metal fabrication applications.

Featured at FABTECH 2026 will be the newest addition to the RazorStar portfolio, the RazorStar FS1190 Fiber Discs. Engineered with Norton's proprietary shaped ceramic grain technology, RazorStar fiber discs offer fast stock removal, cooler cutting action, and extended product life. The precision-engineered grain structure continuously fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, enabling aggressive material removal while maintaining consistent performance throughout the life of the disc, the company reported. It is epecifically designed for carbon steel and other difficult-to-grind materials.

Also featured will be Norton's performance-enhanced QUANTUM3 (NQ3) cutting discs. Designed with a proprietary grain and advanced bond system, the latest generation of Quantum3 products offers faster, freer cutting action while maintaining durability and wheel life. The optimized design reduces cutting time, minimizes wheel changes, and decreases operator fatigue, according to the company. The cutting discs are engineered to provide smooth, controlled performance across a wide range of metal fabrication applications.

Additional abrasives and technologies highlighted at Norton's FABTECH booth will include:

  • Norton Vortex Rapid Prep Non-Woven Flap Discs — Featuring Norton's patented Vortex agglomerated grain technology, these products offer the cutting action of a coarser grit while producing a finer finish. The result is faster blending, cleaning and finishing with fewer process steps.
  • Norton grinding, cutting, blending, and finishing solutions — FABTECH attendees can explore Norton's complete abrasive offering, including fiber discs, flap discs, belts, quick-change discs, bonded wheels, nonwoven products, and specialty solutions engineered for manual, semi-automated, and robotic applications.

Visitors can also learn about the Norton Abrasive Process Solutions (APS) Program, which helps manufacturers identify the optimal abrasive solution for specific applications. Whether addressing simple finishing tasks or complex automated grinding operations, APS combines application expertise, process analysis and product recommendations to improve efficiency and overall manufacturing performance.
