Jooltool Disc Attachments


Designed to be the safest sharpening system in the industry, Jooltool can be used with a variety of attachable discs and brushes.


Particle size for each abrasive disc determines a grade (measurement) of micron or grit. Microns are used for medium and fine abrasive grades. Course or highly abrasive products do not equate in particle size to Micron grades, therefore highly abrasive Jooltool products are only measured in Grit. All the purple disc products and the mini brushes are highly abrasive and are stated in Grit.
