Artifex A abrasive tools The Artifex A series uses a synthetic rubber bond with a high concentration of silicon carbide. The fatty oil-based bond is an organic material with similar wear properties to a common eraser. The special bond structure ensures cooler operation as well as minimal tool loading on tricky synthetic or painted surfaces. Artifex A abrasives are particularly well suited for high-skill grinding tasks.
