Many manufacturing applications benefit from the use of a flap disc. In the lineup of surface conditioning tools like cutting and grinding wheels, how are flap discs distinctive?
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.
When a facility is choosing angle grinder flap discs, it's essential to consider factors like shape, material, density and abrasive grain type and size. This guide to flap discs discusses these characteristics and what they mean for flap disc performance.
Flap discs also come in a range of sizes, generally from about 4 to 7 inches in diameter, with the mini discs smaller still. Smaller discs are designed for use on die grinders to provide smooth grinding and enhanced conformability in tight areas. will rotate more quickly and provide a faster cut rate, whereas larger discs will rotate more slowly. Larger-diameter wheels contain more abrasive, however, so with the right care, because of their size will cover larger areas and will last longer and provide a higher rate of stock removal over the life of the disc.
Flap disc shapes also differ in the width of the individual flaps. The industry standard for these flaps is about 25 millimeters, and some flap discs, including Weiler Abrasives' Tiger Paw high density and Big Cat discs, contain 30-millimeter flaps instead. The larger flaps provide a more expansive surface area for applications that require aggressive, high-volume grinding.
