3M 18255, Scotch-Brite Star Pack 944S, 7100031694

Tackle Hard-To-Reach Areas

Scotch-Brite Star Pack 944S contains stars of varying sizes and grades for a robust introductory set. Each star has six spindles attached to an eyelet. Made with nonwoven technology, the spindles are spongy, buoyant and flexible. Consequently, they can bend and move to accommodate the insides of metal tubes and pipes. Scotch-Brite Star comes in small sizes, with the smallest diameter being 1-1/2 inches and the largest diameter being 4 inches. The small size supplements the spongy spindles, helping the abrasive fit inside hard-to-reach areas. These stars lightly deburr and blend contours and ridges without gouging or marring the surface, helping to reduce scraps and rework. Stars may be used on a variety of metals: stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, cast iron, titanium and non-ferrous metals.

Ease of Use

3M Mandrel 944 is included in the kit. The threaded attachments on the stars fasten to the mandrel for safe use on a die grinder. Scotch-Brite Stars require low pressure when used at correct operating speeds. Stars in the introductory pack come in both coarse (CRS) and very fine (VFN) grades. Use a coarse abrasive when blending defects or refining previous scratches, and use a very fine abrasive when a soft, fine scratch pattern is desired.

The Many Benefits of Open Web Abrasives

Nonwoven technology makes our Scotch-Brite industrial abrasives unique. A combination of fiber strands, resin, and abrasive mineral forms a thick, open web. The spring-like nature of the fibers responds to contours and effectively removes unwanted burrs, soils, and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece, which in turn reduces rework and boosts productivity. Gaps in the web allow swarf to escape, so debris does not clog the mineral. Fibers in the web continually break down with use to reveal fresh mineral for exceptional consistency, superior cut performance, and extremely long service life. Scotch-Brite products not only enhance productivity, but also increase operator safety by reducing the need for cleaning chemicals and pastes, and replacing wire brushes that can break off and cause injury. From aesthetic finishing to deburring and more, Scotch-Brite abrasives work fast and deliver consistent results, part after part.

Scotch-Brite Star Pack 944S is a great introductory kit for operators who need to blend, deburr and finish a variety of metal parts. The versatile range of sizes and grades included in the pack provide an economical means for finding the right star for your specific part.
