The Standard Abrasives Ceramic Cross Pad expertly performs close tolerance finishing of small radii and channels, and deburring the ends and insides of tubing on ferrous metals, in particular stainless steel. The flexibility of the cross pad enables access to holes, recesses, and cylinder walls. Moreover, space between the fingers of the pad helps operators see the workpiece during use.

  • Flexible and easily conforms to the workpiece
  • Ideal for deburring and polishing most radii, holes, recesses and cylinder walls
  • Useful for polishing bell-mouth pieces, drop forge dies, and other pieces with deep recesses
  • Resin bond system provides secure grain retention and maximum abrasive life
  • Multi-ply laminated construction produces cushioned, chatter-free grinding
  • Ceramic mineral excels at rapid stock removal on ferrous metals

Flexible Design, Multiple Uses

The Standard Abrasives™ Ceramic Cross Pad is a versatile grinding tool that can be used in hard-to-reach areas and for producing a final shine and polish. The pad is made up of strips of abrasive material that intersect to form a cross and are folded over an eyelet. As the pad spins inside pipes or tubes, the four spindles rotate to swiftly finish the workpiece. The spindles are springy and buoyant enough to accommodate uniquely shaped parts without gouging or marring the surface, and the mineral leaves a consistent scratch pattern. Cross Pads are less aggressive than square pads and are generally used for metal finishing tasks. Their small shape makes them ideally suited to get inside tubes and any other internal diameters.

The Standard Abrasives™ Ceramic Cross Pad is great for finishing and polishing inside and around sharp corners and extrusions, and the mineral cuts aggressively without compromising the geometry of the part. The pad is also good for blending radii and finishing bell-mouth pieces.

A Final Finish, Without the Chatter

The spindles on the Standard Abrasives™ Ceramic Cross Pad are multi-ply, containing up to 16 layers of abrasive material. The higher the ply, or "thickness," the more aggressive and durable the pad will be; choose these pads when you're looking to deburr or grind. Lower ply abrasives tend to be more flexible and conform well to the substrate, so choose these pads when polishing or finishing. The multi-thickness of the abrasive material acts as an extra cushion – a pillow-like shock absorber that won't vibrate, skid or deflect along the surface. It reduces the likelihood of chatter, which tends to result from too much vibration and frequency between the abrasive, tool and workpiece.

Rapid Stock Removal with Ceramic Abrasive Grain

The Standard Abrasives™ Ceramic Cross Pad is constructed with ceramic abrasive for rapid stock removal on ferrous metals, primarily stainless steel. Ceramic abrasives are engineered with high levels of hardness and strength to handle intense heat and stress applications and maintain a sharp cut. They perform best under high pressure. This ceramic cross pad contains ceramic grain blended with aluminum oxide for increased performance over aluminum oxide abrasives.

Anatomy of a Cross Pad

The cross pad has a metal eyelet that attaches to a mandrel and may be used with a rotary tool. By changing mandrel length, the user may shorten or extend the pad's reach. Standard Abrasives™ Cross Pads are manufactured from a variety of minerals, including Aluminum Oxide, Zirconia, Ceramic and Silicon Carbide (each sold separately). All minerals are securely anchored to the backing with a strong, heat-resistant resin bond. Combining cushion, flexibility and an aggressive cut, these well-rounded abrasive products offer outstanding versatility.
