Rest Pads & Gripper Pads Solid Carbide High impact carbide pads. Can be brazed or bonded into place. Carbide Tipped Constructed with a high impact carbide pad brazed to a heat treated alloy steel body. Mounts with tapped hole or a flat on the outside diameter for set screw mounting. Stainless Steel The pad is made from 17-4 stainless steel, hardened to Rc 43/46. Mounts with tapped or counter bored hole. Hardened Steel Made from 8620 steel, carburized and hardened to Rc 58/60 .050" case with black oxide finish. Mounts with tapped or counter bored hole. Abrasive Diamond Surface The abrasive surface is permanently fused to a 17-4 stainless steel pad, hardened to Rc 43/46. The surface texture is comparable to a 100 grit abrasive. Mounts with tapped or counter bored hole. Non-Marring Delrin Manufactured from white Delrin. Mounts with counter bored or tapped hole. Sof-Top™ Urethane Surface The urethane surface is permanently bonded to a 300 series stainless steel pad. The urethane provides excellent protection against damage on delicate work surfaces. They are available in three durometers. Tapped hole mounting. TOOTH PATTERN SPECIFICATIONS Throughout this catalog, you will find reference to tooth patterns on all serrated grippers.
