Features

  • Through the utilization of aerospace materials (Alumina Fiber Filaments), breakage, cracking, and chipping have been eliminated. High polishing efficiency can be ensured.
  • No clogging. Uniformly fine finishes can be achieved.
  • Thanks to the braided structure of the rod type, high polishing efficiency is possible even with the side, of the tool, and there is no splitting of the tip. (#220 is designed in a two way liner structure)
  • Suitable for fine deburring.
  • Higher polishing efficiency can be achieved by using the Meister Finishi with tools (electric, air, ultrasonic)
  • Coarse grit type made of thick Alumina Fiber Filaments is ideal for removing EDM scales. Only XEBEC can manufacture it.

 
 
Structure
 
■XEBEC's innovative Original Structure
  • No breakage during highe speed rotation!!
  • Thanks to the braided structure, the side of  the tool can polish!
  • Polishing performance increases substantially when high-speed polishing becomes with a hand grinder!

Meister Finishi Rod Type Structure

Meister Finishi rod type is braided structure of alumina fiber filaments.

The structure below φ2mm or equivalent to #220(Gray) is as follows.

【Alumina fiber filaments structure】

The bundles of alumina fiber filaments cross and set in each other.

【Effect】

 ・ Not easy to break or tear, and longer tool life.

 ・ Both a side and a tip of the tool can polish .

Made of the plate as shown left photo.

■Comparison in Structure and Features with Common Abrasive Stone
  XEBEC Meister Finish common abrasive stone
Structure
No breakage No breakage even though it's only 0.5mm thick and 150mm long. Perfect for polishing on narrow areas such as ribs of plastic molds. Sizes  less than 3mm thick are not available as they are easy to break. So polishing narrow areas is impossible.
Superior polishing efficiency
Since it doesn't crack, high polishing efficiency can be achived when using it xith ultrasonic, air, electrical tools.
Due to high ALF contents (up to 85%) high density and continuous cutting edges, superior polishing performance continues.


As it breaks easily, not suitable for the use with ultrasonic, air, or electrical tools.
Abrasive grain makes up only 30% total weight.
Due to grain fall out, grinding performance is unstable and tool life is short
No clogging Thanks to the self –sharpening action, it resists clogging. Self-sharpening; ALF gradually cleaves by itself and generates new cutting edges, even though binders are consumed during polishing. New cutting edges are generated after grain fall out.However, abrasive grains clog the blank holes created when the grains fall out .Easily clogged.
Uniformed fine finishing Thanks to the even diameter of ALF, surface roughness of the finished surface is superior. Due to the variation of abrasive grains diameters, uniform finishes are difficult to achieve..
No chipping Thanks to the continuous ALF, grains do not fall out and no scratching occurs. Scratches are caused on the finished surface by fallen out grains.
 
Usage, Applications
 
■Usage
  • Ideal for precise polishing of free surfaces, free curves, ribs, bosses, etc., of various forming molds (especially plastic mold).
  • High finishing efficiency can be achieved without clogging, even for metals such as aluminum, copper, gun metal, etc., which clogs with common abrasive stones.
  • Can be used in narrow areas where common abrasive stones cannot be used because of breaking.
  • Use on complex shapes where uniform finishing could not be previously attained.
  • Efficient EDM scales removal.
 
■Applications
Usage Meister Finish (Stick type) Meister Finish (Rod type)

Comparison
 
■Performance Comparison with Competitors (SS)
 
  • The most widely used SS product is "Blue". (60% of all SS products) Please refer to the line graph.
  • Users of S‘s “Blue” use it to achieve surface roughness shown by
  • The same degree of surface roughness can be achieved by XEBEC's "Orange"
  • For the user to achieve this surface roughness using S's "Blue" would result in the finishing removal rate shown in bar graph ;Using XEBEC's "Orange" would result in bar graph ,making it 4 times more efficient in polishing.
 
 
Use
 
■Meister Finish (Stick type)
 
Efficient use Picture

Use the tip at an angle to the surface of a workpiece.

Approximately 5~45 degrees is effective.

Polishing and deburring using the side of the tool.


There is no polishing ability on the surface of the tools.
Use with vibration tools (ultrasonic, air, electric etc.)


XEBEC Heat-Resistant Ceramic Abrasives are ideal for ultrasonic tools.


Ideal tool length depends on each ultrasonic tool. If a tool is not mounted on the ultrasonic tool securely, exessive heat may be generated.
Forming (Shaping the tip of a tool in accordance with the shape of a workpiece.)
Dressing



For easy and perfect dressing, use an electrodeposited diamond stone. Perform cutting same way.
Coolant will increase efficiency.


Coolant is recommend when polishing plastic molds.
 
■Meister Finish (Rod type)
  Thanks to braided structure, the side of the tool can polish !
 
Efficient use Picture
Polishing and deburring using the tip or side of a tool.


Polishing using the entire surface of a tool is possible thanks to the braided Alumina Fiber stuructur.
Use with hand grinders or vibration tools (ultrasonic, air, electric etc.).


Use at less than the maximum rpm of 30,000 and less than 50mm in length. When using with ultrasonic tool, piease refer to “Stick type”.
Forming(Shaping the tip of a tool in accordance with the shape of a workpiece.)
Dressing



For easy and perfect dressing, press a tool rotating in a hand grinder onto an electrodeposited diamond stone. Do cutting same way.



Thanks to the braded structure, there is no splitting of the tip even when it is made into a fine point.
Coolant will increase efficiency.


Coolant is recommended when polishing plastic molds.
