Different coatings for different grinding operations lead to very different grinding results. In the following table you will find the individual coverings with their hardnesses.

FAPI-SOFT abrasive sleeve holders are used in both the metalworking and woodworking industries. The great advantage of machining workpieces is that longitudinal grinding is achieved rather than cross grinding, as is the case with disc sanders. In particular, FAPI-SOFT abrasive sleeve holders are used when it is no longer possible to hold the workpiece in front of an abrasive tool due to the size or weight of the workpiece to be machined. Also, the accessibility to the working area, for example during assembly or repair work, often does not allow other grinding tools to be used. Typical areas of application in the metal sector include the removal of welding seams in steel construction, the machining of edges and contours in turbine construction and the finishing of assembly work. In addition, abrasive sleeve carriers are also used for repair work and fine sanding. In the wood sector, typical areas of application for FAPI-SOFT abrasive sleeve supports include the regrinding of glued joints in the seating furniture industry and other large wooden parts.

A prerequisite for the use of the FAPI-SOFT abrasive sleeve holders is the required minimum cutting speed, as only then can sufficient tension of the abrasive sleeves be achieved.
