Reid Supply offers a comprehensive selection of sanding and grinding tools for finishing, shaping, polishing, cleaning, cutting and deburring. We have everything from sandpaper to bristle discs and cross-hole brushes. From machining metal, wood and plastic, Reid has everything you need for threading, broaching, drilling, boring, milling, turning and hole cutting.

These carriages are low profile and self lubricating and are excellent alternatives to linear ball bearing systems. They dampen vibrations and tolerate shock loads. Corrosion-resistant material. No metal-to-metal contact or rolling elements to trap contamination, skid or damage the rail. Operation is consistent, smooth and quiet. Used in packaging machines, medical eqipment, wash-down and harsh environments.

Abrasive brushes are ideal for cleaning, deburring, and finishing applications. We carry a wide assortment of abrasive brushes, including wire wheel brushes, end and cup brushes, radial bristle brushes, honing and tube brushes, and abrasive hand brushes.

Floating clamps are specialized workholding tools designed to support and clamp overhanging or thin-walled workpieces, preventing vibrations and deflection during machining. They achieve this by simultaneously applying clamping force from above and support from below. These clamps are crucial for achieving high precision and stability, especially with delicate materials, by minimizing distortion and improving surface finish. They often feature adjustable heights and swiveling capabilities, accommodating various workpiece geometries.

In the manufacturing industry, a T-bolt is a fastener with a T-shaped head, specifically designed for use in T-slots found on machine tables and tooling fixtures. It allows for adjustable and secure clamping of workpieces and tooling, crucial for precise machining and assembly operations.

Adjustable Compression Latches are IP65 rated and are made from either Chrome or Black Powder Coated Die-Cast Zinc. They offer a 6mm compression and there are 3 cam styles available; either flat, offset or deep. The cam can be used forward or reversed and the latch provides good compression and noise isolation. The 2 fixing sizes available are 20.2mm x 22.2mm and 19.2mm x 22.2mmAdjustable Compression Latches w/Wing Knob are used for cabinets that require better sealing under vibration. The range comes in a choice of finish and are available in locking and non locking versions.

Pneumatic parallel grippers operate with compressed air and are designed for automated pick-and-place applications. Available in 20 sizes with stroke options from 5mm to 50mm and fast actuations from 60ms. These grippers offer easy installation, low maintenance, and finger compatibility with competing units for quick upgrades and cost savings.
