Product Name: Flower Flap Disc 4" Outer Diameter, 100 Rounded Grit |
Flap discs, also known colloquially as flapper wheels, have a design suited for right-angle grinder applications. They provide aggressive stock removal or precise blending and finishing depending on the operator's needs. They offer exceptional versatility, maneuverability and lower vibration and noise levels than grinding wheels.
Flap discs are excellent choices for many applications because they allow the operator to perform grinding and finishing in one efficient time-saving, cost-lowering step. They grind like hard grinding wheels but are easier to control so you reduce the risk of gouging the workpiece, and they remain usable even after an area of abrasive wears out because new abrasive is exposed. They also tend to have a softer feel than grinding wheels, and they reduce the risk of removing too much material from the workpiece with overaggressive grinding.
Unlike a standard grinding wheel, which consists of a uniform grinding surface made of abrasive grains bonded in place, a flap disc consists of a ring of overlapping flaps. These flaps hold coated abrasive grains - the same grains used in bonded-abrasive cutting and grinding wheels - that can grind and shape a workpiece during fabrication or blend and finish a weld.
Where cutting and grinding discs often have a fiberglass structure, in flap discs the grains adhere to a backing cloth often made of cotton, polyester or a blend. The abrasive cloth is cut into smaller strips and then layer the strips so they overlap one another to form the flap disc. A rigid back plating provides stability and support.
