Norton RazorStar

RazorStar Range

Norton RazorStar® 36+ is setting the new standard in grinding productivity, efficiency, and quality. Designed for medium to high pressure metal removal in the toughest grinding applications, Norton RazorStar® features engineered shaped ceramic grain which cuts through metal with unbeatable grinding performance.

THREE KEY BENEFITS

Higher Cut Rate

The engineered shaped ceramic grain shape with tough microstructure cuts faster and removes more material than any other conventional ceramic grain. This is combined with the highest percentage of grains applied to the backing in an upright position for razor-sharp cutting.

Longer Life

The benefits of longer product life are fewer abrasive changes, which means less downtime replacing the old with the new and starting over. However, the major benefit is the reduction in abrasive consumption. Consuming fewer abrasives means lower consumable cost per part.

Cooler Cut

The unique sharpness of the grain, combined with the special topsize grinding aid, which acts as a cooling lubricant to help to significantly reduce heat generation results in no thermal damage of the workpiece which means no discolouration, and no need for rework.
