Welding shops rely on having a variety of quality welding abrasives on hand for preparing materials and achieving strong, long-lasting welds. From hobbyists to large manufacturers, the right abrasives make all the difference. Fortunately, nexAir, the leading online supplier for welding products, now provides easy access to a huge selection of top welding abrasives available for purchase and fast shipping. Browsing through nexAir’s virtual aisles, welders will find an expansive array of grinding and cut-off discs, flap discs, mounted points, wheels, wire wheels, wire brushes, hand brushes, chipping hammers, and more.
Wire Wheels
One essential category is wire wheels, which come in a variety of styles and sizes. Wire wheels consist of twisted strands of wire that act as the abrasive medium. As the wheel spins at high speeds, the wire bristles buff and grind the surface. nexAir offers tube-style wire wheels that mount directly on a grinder, as well as bar-style wire wheels that bolt onto mandrels. With options in steel, stainless steel, brass, and nylon bristles, you can find the perfect wire wheel configuration.Â
Chipping hammers also come in handy for cleaning welds. nexAir offers many varieties of these specialized hammers for knocking off slag, spatter, and rust from workpieces. Their small size allows for precision work in tight welds. Chisel, needle scaling, and straight chipping hammer styles chip away unwanted debris while leaving the base material intact.Â
Hand Wire Brushes
For getting into tight spots and corners, hand wire brushes are invaluable. nexAir stocks a wide selection of hand wire brushes featuring twisted or crimped steel, stainless steel, and brass bristles. Brush sizes range from just 1 inch across to over 6 inches. ergonomic handles provide a solid grip. Wire hand brushes can remove rust, clean welds, polish metal, and scour surfaces. They are a versatile, affordable abrasive option.
In addition to wire brushes, nexAir also stocks a variety of abrasive hand brushes. These feature abrasive flap discs or other abrasive materials in place of wire bristles. From lightweight flap brushes to rigid cup brushes, these hand tools grind and finish in hard-to-reach areas.
Grinding Wheels
For more aggressive stock removal, you can always rely on grinding wheels. nexAir provides a full lineup of both pedestal and portable grinding wheels in various sizes and abrasive grits. The abrasive compound binding type affects grinding performance. Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide are common abrasive grains used. Matching the wheels to your specific welding and fabrication needs results in ideal performance. Â
Cut-Off Wheels
Cutting wheels are another abrasive product useful for slicing pipe, plate steel, and other materials. Thin cut-off wheels offer fast cutting action, while thicker wheels provide more durability. nexAir stocks various cutting wheels along with replacement arbors. When you need to make straight cuts through metal, an abrasive cut-off wheel is the way to go.
Mounted Points
In terms of mounted points, nexAir provides countless options. Mounted stones, mounted wheels, cylinder points, mounted cones, and abrasive mandrels are all available. These abrasives come in different grits, sizes and bond types to suit applications like weld contouring, heavy grinding and surface prep. nylon and rubber bonded abrasives prevent metal contamination when working with stainless steel and other reactive metals.
Roloc Discs
To access those hard to reach areas, Roloc discs and tools provide the perfect angle and compact size. nexAir stocks a variety of Roloc abrasive discs, pads and wheels that attach to right angle adapters. This allows welders to grind contours and finesse welds in very tight spaces.Â
Flap Brushes
For finishing work, flap brushes, abrasive nylon brushes and other abrasive rotary tools are ideal. nexAir stocks brushes in a range of sizes to fit angle grinders, die grinders, drills and more. From tiny spindle-mounted tools to large surface conditioning flap brushes, the options are endless. These abrasives provide surface cleaning and finishing with reduced risk of gouging soft metals.
