UNITED ABRASIVES (SAIT)

Many of our customers have designated Grimes as their preferred source of manufacturing tools, materials and supplies, and tell us that's because they value our in-depth product knowledge, problem-solving ingenuity and dedication to customer service. Those qualities are based, in no small part, on our continuously learning about what we sell and who we serve.

We learn much from our customers' experience of using particular products, and that information is interpreted in the context of our own long experience of meeting customers' diverse production and MRO requirements. This ongoing analysis enriches our knowledge of how particular products perform in actual production operations, and furthers our understanding of a wide variety of industrial applications. That set of strengths combines with tested relationships with our suppliers, who can provide news of product development, offer fast access to innovation, and assure us of superior quality and value. All that cross-fertilized multi-faceted in-depth product and applications expertise, the result of Grimes' 40 years of experience, helps us find the right solution for any manufacturing need.

Grimes is pleased to represent industry leader United Abrasives (SAIT), which manufactures high-quality abrasive products for grinding and cutting, including bonded and coated abrasives, carbide burs, wire brushes, and accessory items.

United Abrasives' exclusive patented Super-Lock Hub is a uniquely stable hubbing system for depressed-center grinding and cutting wheels used on ferrous or non-ferrous metals, on stainless steel, or on concrete, masonry, stone, and brick. The distinctively informative SAIT wheel label (pressed in manufacture to remain intact throughout wheel life) carries optimal-use and safety specifications. SAIT Super-Lock wheels combine a mechanical-interlock transversed key lock and a unique two-part bonding system to ensure a stable hub-wheel connection providing a truly fail-safe throw-away hub assembly. Since 1983, there hasn't been even a single report of product failure among the more than 45 million wheels with Super-Lock Hubs made and sold by United Abrasives (SAIT).

United Abrasives (SAIT) manufactures only a single line of bonded industrial abrasives, and SAIT has no two-tier 'retail' versus 'industrial' quality distinction. The company's SAIT-PAK line offers knowledgable customers - whether they are trade professionals, MRO engineers, craftworkers, or even hobbyists and do-it-yourselfers - the same high-quality SAIT products sold to the largest industrial customers, but packaged in smaller quantities suitable for retail consumer and small-shop use.
