Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Felt Flap Disc used for?
A Felt Flap Disc is mainly used for the final polishing stage to achieve a mirror-like, high-gloss finish on stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals.
What materials can be polished using a Felt Flap Disc?
Felt Flap Discs are suitable for stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and non-ferrous metals, making them ideal for metal fabrication and restoration work.
How is the Felt Flap Disc different from regular flap discs?
Unlike abrasive flap discs used for grinding or stock removal, Felt Flap Discs are non-abrasive and designed solely for fine polishing and achieving a reflective surface.
Can Felt Flap Discs be used on wood or plastic surfaces?
While designed for metal polishing, Felt Flap Discs can also be used gently on wood or plastic when applying polishing compounds, but lower speed and light pressure are recommended.
Do Felt Flap Discs generate heat during polishing?
Minimal heat is generated if operated at proper speed. Felt material helps dissipate friction heat, protecting metal surfaces from burns or discoloration.
