Surface Conditioning Solutions

Written by Kimball Midwest | October 31, 2024

Made of non-woven nylon fiber impregnated with aluminum oxide abrasive grain, our Kim-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Discs offer a fast, safe way to clean flange areas and mating surfaces of gasketing residue. They’re ideal for use on engine blocks, heads, valve covers, transmission housings and more.

 

The discs remove scratches, flashing, rust and oxidation from metal surfaces. They also provide light deburring, as well as blending of ground out welds. Plus, they’re fast and easy to install and remove with the half turn on, half turn off quick change mount.

 

If these discs sound like they could be useful in your shop, they come in various bundles and assortments to make it easier to get just what you need for your operation. Here are some of those options:

 

Dark-Fire™/Kim-Brite™ Assortments

 

Combine our Kim-Brite™ discs with Dark-Fire™ Grinding Discs, whose extreme performance outshines other grinding discs in grinding speed and disc life.

 

This combination is available in a gravity-feed dispenser in either 2” or 3” sizes.

 

Single Wrench Die Grinder with Surface Conditioning and Grinding Discs Bundle

 

For the best value, combine a Dark-Fire™/Kim-Brite™ Assortment with our Single Wrench Die Grinder, which combines a quick-change design with powerful performance. Its universal collet is ideal for use with burs, flap wheels, deburring tools, end brushes, bore brushes, mounted points and anything with a ¼” shaft, including Type-R disc holders.

 

Flamethrower Delta™/Kim-Brite™ Assortments

 

Combine the great Kim-Brite™ discs described above with Flamethrower Delta™ Grinding Discs, whose precision-shaped self-sharpening ceramic grain provides up to two times more stock removal than other high-performance grinding abrasives.

 

This combination is available in 2” and 3” sizes in either a drawer or gravity-feed dispenser.
