Coarse Grit Abrasive Stones (Industry) | Rough mold shaping, initial material removal | Grit: 120-240 (ISO 6344-1), Material: Silicon Carbide | Fast material removal, cost-effective | Leaves visible scratches, higher wear rate |
Bellstone Base (Coarse Grit 150-320) | Industrial mold prototyping | Grit: 150-320 (ISO 6344-1) ▲, Material: Stainless Steel Composite ▲ (Hardness: 6H) | Faster cutting ▲, 30% longer lifespan ▲ compared to industry standards | Moderate finish quality, requires follow-up polishing |
Medium Grit Abrasive Stones (Industry) | Smoothing post-coarse stages | Grit: 400-600 (ISO), Material: Aluminum Oxide | Balances removal speed and surface quality | Inconsistent grit distribution in low-cost variants |
Bellstone Medium (400-600 Grit) | Precision mold contouring | Grit: 400-600 ▲ (±5% grit consistency), Material: Silicon Carbide ▲ (Hardness: 7H) | 40% finer finish ▲, 2x durability ▲ vs. industry standards | Higher upfront cost, slower than coarse grit |
Fine Grit Abrasive Stones (Industry) | Final polishing before mold deployment | Grit: 800-1000 (ISO), Material: Ceramic | Achieves smooth finish for standard molds | Slow processing speed, prone to clogging with oil-based lubricants |
Bellstone Advanced (800-1200 Grit) | Aerospace/medical-grade mold finishing | Grit: 800-1200 ▲ (ISO 6344-1), Material: Silicon Carbide ▲ + Diamond Coating ▲ | Mirror-like finish ▲ (Ra ≤ 0.8μm), 50% faster processing ▲ than industry fine grit | Requires specialized lubricants, 3x cost of base version |
Stainless Steel Composite (Bellstone) | High-wear industrial environments | Material: Stainless Steel ▲ (Corrosion resistance: ASTM F746, 500hr salt spray) | Withstands 100+ chemical exposures ▲ (ASTM D543), 50% lighter than ceramic | Less effective for ultra-fine polishing compared to diamond-coated variants |
Flat Shape Design (Bellstone) | Large-area mold finishing | Shape: Flat (ISO 1745), Thickness: 10mm ▲ (vs. 8mm industry standard) | 20% larger contact area ▲, 15% faster processing ▲ on flat surfaces | Limited use for complex mold geometries, bulkier storage |
