Benefits of Anti-Static Abrasives for Wood

platform breaks I want to give kind of a cool little um fun fact here you got black abrasives and I think you manufacture abrasives that has like anti-static something on it so um what's that all about yep so uh ecumont who's our main line that we carry uh was the inventor of anti-static abrasives back in the 1970s and had a patent on the time uh since then the patent has expired so there's other manufacturers who offer anti-static braces but the idea behind anti-static abrasives is that as the sanding process is ongoing a lot of friction is created and typically the friction comes static and when you generate static that dust tends to stick on everything on the work piece on the machine and doesn't get efficiently extracted to the dust extraction system so the anti-static coating on the abrasive actually reduces in many cases eliminates the static electricity charge and allows the dust to flow up into the dust extraction system efficiently with a cleaner work piece cleaner work area for The Operators and just a better all better General uh result cool so that's kind of a little fun fact it's kind of interesting you sound like you know what you're talking about how long have you been doing this now so uh I've been working at Unida for 26
