Extra-Fine Rubber Abrasive for Ultra-Smooth Finishing
Unlike hard vitrified stones, CRATEX extra-fine bullet points blend a resilient rubber matrix with fine abrasive grain. The result is a tool that:
Cuts gently and predictably, minimizing chatter on edges and corners
Leaves a very smooth surface finish, ideal before bluing, coating, or final polish
Is forgiving on small parts and complex shapes, reducing the risk of deep scratches
Brownells and European Brownells sites highlight these as “preshaped abrasive wheels… perfect for polishing and grinding with precision”, especially in gunsmithing and fine metalwork. Brownells UK+2Brownells France+2
Extra-fine grade is particularly useful when:
You’ve already done shaping with coarse/medium points and need a final blend
You’re prepping surfaces where finish quality matters more than rapid stock removal
You want to smooth tool marks without changing geometry
Optimized #11 Bullet Geometry – 3/8" x 1"
The #11 bullet profile gives you a versatile working shape for different surfaces and access points: Brownells UK+1
3/8" diameter offers enough width for flats and gentle curves
1" length provides plenty of abrasive material for repeated use
Tapered “bullet” nose lets you:
Blend inside radii and contours
Soften sharp edges without over-cutting
Reach into recesses, corners, and curved transitions where straight wheels struggle
This combination makes the 190025114 points an excellent choice for detail finishing and subtle edge work.
1/8" Arbor Hole – Ready for Standard Mandrels & Rotary Tools
With a 1/8" arbor hole, these replacement bullet points are designed to mount on:
1/8" arbor mandrels used in high-speed rotary tools
Flex-shaft handpieces commonly used in gunsmithing and jewelry work
Bench and motor-driven rotary tools that accept 1/8" shank mandrels Brownells UK+2Crow Wholesale+2
That means fast, simple integration into:
