Frequently Asked Questions

United Abrasives/SAIT is a manufacturer of industrial-grade abrasives and accessories. Our company produces a comprehensive line of bonded abrasives (grinding wheels and cutting wheels), coated abrasives (flap discs, fiber discs, belts, and sheets), non-woven abrasives (surface conditioning discs, convolute wheels, and hand pads), wire brushes, tungsten carbide burs, and supporting accessories. All products are manufactured to ANSI B7.1 safety standards and OSHA regulations, and are designed for professional metalworking, fabrication, welding, and construction applications.

United Abrasives products are available through two channels: online at major retailers and distributors linked directly from the Where to Buy page, and locally through the Find a Local Distributor tool, which connects you with authorized dealers in your area for hands-on support, bulk ordering, and same-day shipping on in-stock items. Whether you need a single wheel or a recurring supply order for a production line, United Abrasives works with a distributor network built to get the right abrasive to your job site or shop floor quickly.

Coated abrasives — flap discs, fiber discs, belts, and sheets — bond abrasive grain to a flexible backing and are built for aggressive grinding, blending, and material removal. Non-woven abrasives — surface conditioning discs, convolute wheels, and hand pads — use abrasive grain embedded in a web of nylon fibers, producing a gentler, more consistent finish for cleaning, blending, and polishing without removing much base material. In short: reach for a coated abrasive to shape or strip a surface, and a non-woven abrasive to refine or finish one.

United Abrasives/SAIT products are produced in accordance with OSHA regulations and ANSI B7.1 safety requirements for abrasive wheels. The company provides a comprehensive set of safety resources on its website, including Safety Data Sheets, product technical information, guidance on how to read a wheel label, a safety icon library, ANSI standard marking system documentation, wheel configuration guides, storage and handling guidelines, and a safety reference. These documents are available under Resources.

United Abrasives/SAIT coated abrasives are always made with premium materials to provide the durability and efficiency needed to get the job done across a wide range of applications.

The TrimBack™ Flap Disc is a proprietary product unique to United Abrasives. Coated abrasive belts are available in multiple formulations including ceramic aluminum oxide with grinding aid, zirconia alumina closed coat, and aluminum oxide in open and closed coat versions.
