Exploring the World of Abrasive Manufacturing for Wood Sanding

[Music] foreign and go shoot some films and how-to videos with your staff sounds great ready to go yeah let's go Flawless don't you get a girl you're gorgeous I can't see how sometimes you don't know so we're upstairs in their storage facility this is insane how much uh abrasives they have uh we're looking at boxes of echo silk ekka storm film Tech we're looking at massive rolls check it we'll go down this one aisle right here this is pretty cool we're checking out the manufacturing of it downstairs we're watching it being manufactured seeing the process but now we're up here seeing literally how much they got it's insane it's goes for miles [Music] nobody not you there's nobody like you there's nobody like you now we're walking down an aisle with endless rules of abrasives that who need a manufactures all the braces right here in New York so if you want abrasives manufactured in the U.S this is where you get them it's endless roll after roll after roll equisilk film Tech at the storm it's all here foreign types of races used based on what there's being sanded or finished whether it's hardwood softwood different types of metals different Composites fiberglass so each one of these abrasive types is geared towards a specific application and in order for us to offer the widest range of products to our customers we have to start a lot of different types of abrasives and even within each type of racism you have the full grit range so some products can go from 24 grit all the way up to 1500 so you multiply that by the number of different types of races and that's what you end up with lots and lots of different parts one other I see some 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…
