Brief Introduction Of Flap Disc-ceramic

Golden Abrasives Flap Disc provides a system for low-pressure grinding, small weld removal, finishing, and surface preparation with just one disc. The one-step alternative to bonded wheels and fiber discs, these discs run fast enough for stock removal but provide cushioning with the flaps for a soft finish. Effective for preparing stainless steel for #3 and #4 finishes.

 

Golden Abrasives Flap Disc features self-fracturing ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive grain with a superior cut-rate to aluminum oxide, and versatile performance on many metal types. It is made with an X-weight cotton backing that supports a fast cut for light-duty grinding and finishing.


Flap Discs offer an unbeatable system for grinding and blending in one easy step. The construction wears away, exposing fresh minerals to extend disc life and provide consistent cut rates. Great for weld grinding, blending, deburring, rust removal, surface prep, and edge grinding on all types of metals.

 

Flap discs can be easily adapted to most right-angle grinders and typically provide a finish one grade finer than they are graded.

Flap Discs offer an unbeatable system for grinding and blending in one easy step. The construction wears away, exposing fresh minerals to extend disc life and provide consistent cut rates. Great for weld grinding, blending, deburring, rust removal, surface prep, and edge grinding on all types of metals. And, because their overlapping construction allows more abrasive material to be loaded onto the cutting surface, they far outlast typical discs. Flap discs are ideal for a wide range of applications, including grinding of small welds, deburring, rust removal, edge grinding, and weld seam blending.

 

The overlapping layers of coated abrasive cloth flaps make this disc flexible, long-lasting, sharp cutting, and a great choice for one-step grinding and blending. In many instances it can replace grinding wheels and fiber discs, making it an advantageous addition to machine shops and body shops.

 

Compared to a grinding wheel, a flap disc cuts cooler works faster, and is more user-friendly. The phenolic resin disc plate cushions the disc and reduces disc vibration, producing optimal finish and greater operator comfort. Moreover, the flexibility of the flaps also reduces vibration and produces smoother results, which means the disc is easier to control and causes less operator fatigue.

 

A flap disc will outlast a fiber disc while still providing an aggressive cut, so you can count on replacing it less often, which saves time and reduces consumables. It produces a smoother, more consistent finish, and won't curl up in storage as fiber discs sometimes do. Choose one grade coarser than the fiber disc you would typically use for your application for comparable results.


Flap Disc provides an effective solution for many different operations. Use it to:

 

  • Remove rust or other contaminants

 

  • Touch up welds

 

  • Smooth out beads and burrs

 

  • Remove splatter

 

  • Strip paint off of metal

 

  • Level auto body filler

 

A flap disc may also be used for paint prep on wood, although it won't leave the same smooth finish it achieves on metal.
