Highlights
- Flaps offer single-step grinding and blending and may replace grinding wheels and fiber discs
- Flap construction leaves a smooth finish and resists gouging
- Zirconia AP material offers excellent versatile performance on many different applications requiring low to medium pressure
- Overlapping layers extend durability for prolonged use in industrial operations
- Poly-cotton backing resists tearing or fraying
- Phenolic resin plate provides cushion effect for optimal blending and dampens vibration, reducing operator fatigue and tool wear
Constructed to perform well on a range of tasks, our Standard Abrasives™ Zirconia AP Flap Disc features extra-sharp alumina zirconia mineral on durable poly-cotton flaps. The overlapping cloth flaps provide extended durability and progressively reveal fresh ceramic mineral for continuous sharp cut as the flaps wear away leaving a smooth finish.
Achieves Aggressive Cut with Smooth Finish, Resists Gouging
Ideal for use in metal fabrication, the Standard Abrasives™ Zirconia AP Flap Disc achieves fast, aggressive stock removal without compromising finish. It is a great choice for low to medium pressure grinding applications, especially for surface prep and metal finishing where finish and gouge resistance are important.
Outcuts and Outlasts Grinding Wheels and Fiber Discs
The overlapping layers of coated abrasive cloth flaps make this flap 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.
