Business
Stainless Finish Repair Service
Offer a mobile service to restore scuffed or welded stainless surfaces in restaurants, hospitals, and commercial kitchens. The cool-cut discs reduce heat tint during blending, delivering clean finishes on handrails, counters, and equipment.
Laser-Cut Parts Deburring & Edge Prep
Specialize in fast deburring and edge conditioning of stainless and carbon steel parts for local fabricators. Zirconia grains provide rapid stock removal, and quick-lock backing pads (where applicable) speed changeovers for high throughput.
Brewery/Winery Equipment Refinishing
Provide on-site refinishing of stainless tanks, piping guards, and railings. Low-heat grinding minimizes discoloration on visible surfaces, appealing to facilities that value clean aesthetics and quick turnaround.
Small-Batch Knife Blank Prep Shop
Offer rough grinding services to custom knife makers: profiling, bevel pre-grinds, and scale removal on stainless/tool steels. Extended disc life keeps costs predictable, enabling per-piece or hourly pricing with reliable margins.
Abrasive Kits & On-Site Demos
Bundle these fiber discs with compatible backing pads and safety gear into ready-to-use kits for metal shops. Provide on-site demos and training to drive consumable subscriptions and repeat orders.

Relief-Textured Stainless Wall Art
Use the discs to carve shallow relief patterns and sweeping textures into stainless steel panels. The lubrication layer helps keep the finish clean and consistent without heat tint, giving a crisp, industrial aesthetic that plays with light and shadow.
Upcycled Metal Furniture Accents
Transform reclaimed steel table legs, chair frames, or shelving by grinding bold geometric textures and chamfers. The extended-life zirconia grain makes quick work of heavy stock removal while limiting surface discoloration for a refined look.
Knife Blank Rough Shaping
Quickly profile and establish rough bevels on tool steel or stainless knife blanks. The cool-cutting disc helps reduce heat buildup that can affect temper colors, and the fiber backing holds up well along edges during aggressive grinding.
Industrial Mosaic and Inlay Panels
Create metal mosaic art by leveling and texturing mixed stainless and mild steel pieces set into a panel. The discs hog down high spots, blend seams, and leave a dramatic coarse texture without excessive bluing.
Sculptural Metal Reliefs from Plate
Shape flowing contours and facets in thicker plate for stand-alone sculptures. High stock removal and tear-resistant backing let you establish strong lines and depth while keeping heat marks to a minimum.
