Scotch-Brite™ Cross Buff, HS-XB, A VFN, 2 in x 1/2 in (5.08 cm x 1.27 cm) by 3M

Scotch-Brite™ Cross Buff polishes, cleans, satin finishes, denibs, and defuzzes the interior diameters of metal components, such as lifter bores, valve bodies, valve spools, and tubing. Conformability of the nylon web makes this abrasive useful for removing surface oxidation, rust, and corrosion on dies and molds prior to coating and polishing.This purple cleaning and polishing tool uses an aluminum oxide abrasive capable of producing a high lustre finish. Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing use. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. Scotch-Brite Cross Buff is a unique surface conditioning product with abrasives incorporated into non-woven fibres. Combining abrasives into the fibres creates an abrasive system that gives you consistent results for the life of the product. The open-web material is load resistant and keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibres.
