Norton Vortex Rapid Blend is a non-woven disc made from unitised material, which means it's used for blending and finishing applications, to remove grind lines and smooth metal to give a semi-polished finish. 

To remove welds, our Application Engineer Paul Gray recommends using a Norton flap or fibre disc first, which will remove much more metal, then use the Norton Vortex Rapid Prep as a second step. This will be a much faster overall process and you'll achieve a much better surface finish as a result.
