Perma-Grit abrasives Long life, fast, clean cutting tools. Easily cleaned. Perma-Grit tools were developed by Ian & Tracey Richardson. Ian a World Champion Scale aircraft builder.

Perma-Grit Tools manufacture a range of specialist abrasive sanding & cutting tools for Carbon Fibre, Glass Fiber, Composites, Stone, Brick, Laminates, Acrylics, Plastics, Polystyrene, Wood etc. He was working with such a diverse range of materials, traditional tools were not efficient and had a tendency to chip, melt or tear materials. Ian found that tungsten carbide grit solved this problem. The

tools they developed solved this problem, cutting the softest to some of the hardest materials, quickly and cleanly, whilst giving far better results and an extended tool life. We started selling Perma-Grit tools at Model Aircraft shows in the UK. We met customers from all walks of life and soon our tools were being used by an amazing range of people. The LAA Light Aircraft Association and EAA Experimental Aircraft Association members, as well as the Motorsport Industry, Cathedral & Architectural Masons, Musical Instrument makers, Kitchen & Shop fitters, Architectural Restoration, Boat fitters and Craftsmen & Women making Rocking Horses, Walking sticks, carving horn & antler also Dolls houses and miniature furniture. We enjoy hearing from our customers, and learning what they have used our tools on, or for, even when they tells us, they have been using them for removing the hard skin from their feet - eeek! Perma-Grit Tools continue to develop a range of user designed tools, that give great value and satisfaction to our customers.

Well that was as a first & fun day at Shelsley Walsh hill climb. I now know how long I can hold my breath!
When you’re going up at speed, that road seems awfully narrow. Thank you Mr Boakes “Saoirse” Audi R8 V10.
It’s great to see Super Car owners driving their cars & honing their skills.

Another successful SuperCar Festival.

Shelsley Walsh is the world’s oldest motorsport venue still running events on its original course — predating Indianapolis, Le Mans and Monza. Unfortunately, Brooklands was lost to land development, thankfully, Shelsley Walsh remains and is steeped in history yet firmly connected to the modern sport.

Fun day today at Shelsley Walsh hill climb.  How did it all start?  (a bet between two men in a pub probably)

Haven’t shown a Perma-Grit tool for sometime. So this is an actual product we manufacture! 😁
RF6C Rotary Rod 4mm Coarse - designed to fit Dremel, Flexidrives, Proxxon etc
1/8” shaft or 3.1mm.
I’ve been refurbishing an Oak Bench in our village, which I carved in 2017. It was in need of a little TLC.
