Webb Abrasives presents an exciting new development in sanding technology: a unique, multi-holed foam backed disc, which takes heat-control AND dust-control to a whole new level. Joest products can last up to four times as long as conventional sanding discs. (read more)

Numerical Aperature (N.A.) of 0.39 and hard polymer cladding that allows a high core-to-clad ratio, the Anhydroguide™ APCH is the low cost fiber of choice. The pure fused silica (SiO2) used in the core of Anhydroguide™ fiber is made by reacting silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) with oxygen (O2) using a plasma arc rather than an oxy-hydrogen flame. This ensures that the residual ... (read more)
