These belts are ideal for high initial cuts and provide a great finish without gouging or undercutting the workpiece.
Applications
The belts are suitable for removing surface defects, light edge burrs, parting lines, flashing, rust, oxides, corrosion, paints, and scale. They are also used for blending mill marks, tool marks, uneven edges, and applying decorative finishes.
Abrasive Grain and Grit Range
The belts are available in various grit ranges from extra coarse to very fine, using abrasive grains like Vortex engineered aluminum oxide and standard aluminum oxide.
Specifications
Two main specifications are available: XF, which offers good flexibility for file belt applications, and RF, which provides reinforced low-stretch backing for large narrow belt applications.
Product Features
Vortex Rapid Prep belts combine the cutting speed of coarse grits with the finish of fine grits, offering durability for blending, finishing, cleaning, and light deburring. The Clean Bond technology ensures a smear-free finish that does not load on aluminum or soft metals, achieving a burr-free, paintable finish in fewer steps.
Dimensions and Grades
The document provides detailed dimensions and grades for various belt sizes, including 6x457mm, 13x457mm, 19x457mm, and more, with corresponding coarse, medium, fine, and very fine grades.
Specialties

Storage and Handling of Abrasive Belts
  • Abrasive belts should be stored rolled up on a clean shelf or draped over a large cylinder to prevent creasing and cracking.
  • Wide belts should be hung over a tube of at least 100mm diameter with a light weight added to aid in removing set.
  • Condition belts for 24 hours prior to use and precondition in a controlled environment for maximum efficiency.
Transport and Storage Guidelines
  • Keep products in original packaging and store bulk rolls flat.
  • Store belts properly and keep away from heat or cold sources.
Safety Advice
  • Follow machine manufacturers' safety instructions and ensure all guards and covers are in place.
  • Avoid using abrasives near flammable materials and ensure dust extraction equipment is used.
  • Check abrasives visually before use and ensure they are suitable for the application.
  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and ear protection, gloves, and masks.
General Precautions
  • Ensure abrasives are stored in dry, frost-free conditions and handle them with care.
  • Disconnect power before fitting products and examine them for defects.

Operating Speed
A table is included to determine the optimal peripheral speed for different brush diameters and RPMs, ensuring efficient performance and longevity of the brushes.
Recommended Operating Speeds (RPM)
Various materials such as casting, titanium, nickel, copper alloys, aluminium, plastics, and carbon or glass fibres have specific recommended RPM ranges for optimal performance. For example, titanium and nickel require slower speeds due to their hardness, while smaller burrs need faster speeds. The maximum recommended speed for extra-long burrs is 15,000 RPM. Adjustments may be necessary to avoid chipping or excessive tooth wear.
Recommendations for Use
To ensure optimal performance, it is advised to apply constant movement and light pressure, avoid overheating the tool, and not to sink the burr more than one-third of its periphery.
