How To Use Xebec Ceramic Stones for precision polishing

Xebec ceramic stones is maily used in mold polishing and grinding.it is also used in various non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper polishing and so on.

Ceramic fiber stone is made by combining ceramic particles and resin with a special process, and it is mainly used for polishing precise and subtle parts. According to the shape, it can be divided into two types: flat and round.

The characteristics and uses of Xebec fiber stone

It has strong toughness and generally used for precision polishing of the bottom of the mold, fine seams, etc. Fiber whetstone is used for narrow grooves on molds, jade handicrafts, cemented carbide workpieces, and hard-to-grind curved surfaces and deep polishing. It is also suitable for removal of hardened surfaces after EDM, mechanical cutting, removal of rough tool marks, removal of finishing marks, and treatment before general polishing, fine grinding or mirror polishing.

1. It adopts a crystal structure suitable for grinding, which greatly improves the grinding efficiency compared with traditional oilstone.

2. The fibers are arranged crosswise, the sand particles are uniform and full, not easy to fall off, and there will be no scratches on the surface of the grinding workpiece. It can slide vertically and horizontally to improve the grinding speed and the strength of the whetstone.

3. It is not easy to generate heat during polishing, and will not cause the workpiece to become hot and the oil stone to deteriorate.

4. The shape of the fiber stone can be arbitrarily trimmed and changed freely.

5. In addition to being used for hand-held grinding, it is also suitable for pneumatic and electric reciprocating grinding machines. Use on the ultrasonic vibration grinder, the effect is very good (use at a 45 degree angle with the grinding surface). Ceramic fiber whetstone can be ground and processed on various mold steels of different materials. It is suitable for places that are generally difficult to grind and process, such as narrow groove walls, groove bottoms, holes, slip marks, ribs and small and fine places. Especially for the quick removal and polishing effect of the carbon deposit layer after electric discharge machining.

Xebec fiber stone color classification

According to the different grits, ceramic fiber stone is divided into different colors.

1.Brown: 220# grit, it mainly used to remove carbon deposits on the surface after power generation processing (electric discharge grinding)

2.Coffee: 300# grit, it mainly used to remove carbon deposits on the surface after power generation processing (electric discharge grinding)

3. Orange: 400# grit, used for grinding cutting tool marks

4. Black: 600# grit, used for grinding cutting tool marks

5. Blue: 800# grit, used for grinding cutting tool marks

6.White:1000#grit,used fine grinding or grinding before mirror polishing

7.Red:1200#grit,used fine grinding or grinding before mirror polishing

The higher the of grits, the finer the ceramic particles.

 How to use xebec ceramic fiber stone?

Flat Shape

First, press the end face part on the surface so that it is at an angle of about 45 degrees with the surface.

Xebec ceramic fiber whetstone flakes are all made of ceramic fiber cross mesh, so there is cutting force on the side.

It can be used directly in your hand, or you can use the handle bracket to improve work efficiency.


You can also use vibration tools (electric, ultrasonic and pneumatic) to improve efficiency.


If you are using ultrasonic vibration tools, it is recommended that you use xebec heat-resistant ceramic whetstone, which can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees.

Xebec ceramic fiber whetstone soft grinding disc (BS-2006M) cannot be used with vibration tools.

It is recommended to use metal polishing liquid to prevent clogging and improve grinding efficiency

Round Shape

The entire surface (tip and side) of the round shape has the ability to grind. To improve work efficiency, you can make the end face contact with the surface of the workpiece at an angle of about 45 degrees.

It can be used directly in your hand, or you can use the handle bracket to improve work efficiency.

You can also use vibration tools (electric, ultrasonic and pneumatic) to improve efficiency.

Xebec ceramic fiber stone soft grinding disc (PBS-30M) cannot be used with vibration tools.

It is recommended to use metal polishing liquid to prevent clogging and improve grinding efficiency

Precautions for use

Before using vibrating tools or manual grinders, please read the precautions and related manuals carefully.
The rod-type manual grinder (φ2.34mm, φ3mm) can be used to cut stones with a length not exceeding 50 mm, and the maximum speed should be less than 30000 min.
