Abrasive tools

Abrasive tools: essential tools for cutting, sanding and shaping in various fields such as metallurgy and general industry.

What Are Abrasive Tools

Abrasive tools represent a basic category of tools used to process materials through abrasion. Characterized by the use of extremely hard, granular materials, such as corundum, silicon carbide or diamond, these tools remove small amounts of material from the surface of an object to cut, grind, polish or shape. Their use is crucial in a variety of industrial and craft applications, making them indispensable tools in areas such as metalworking, carpentry, jewelry making and beyond.
