Abrasives

Professional grinding and sanding products

Abrasives are used throughout the jewelry-making process, from initial cleanup to final surface refinement. They help remove scratches, smooth rough edges, blend tool marks, and prepare metal for polishing. Every workshop ends up using abrasives in one form or another, whether you’re shaping a fresh casting or refreshing an older piece.

Katway offers a wide range of abrasive products for jewelers, metalworkers, and repair professionals. As a factory-direct supplier, we focus on dependable materials that deliver consistent cutting action and predictable wear characteristics. Different grits and formats allow makers to move gradually from rough shaping to finer finishing without changing their workflow.

FAQ

Q1: What grit should I start with?

A1: That depends on the condition of the metal. Deeper scratches generally require coarser grits before moving to finer abrasives.

Q2: Can abrasives be used on precious metals?

A2: Yes. Gold, silver, platinum, brass, and many other jewelry materials can all be worked with the appropriate abrasive.

Q3: Why do some abrasives wear faster than others?

A3: Abrasive material, pressure, metal hardness, and application all influence lifespan.

Q4: Should I skip grit sizes to save time?

A4: Moving through grits gradually often produces a cleaner surface and reduces finishing work later.

Q5: Are these products suitable for professional workshops?

A5: Yes. Katway abrasives are used by both independent makers and larger jewelry production environments.
