Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Flexible Flap Disc used for?
A Flexible Flap Disc is designed for grinding, deburring, blending, and surface finishing on metals such as stainless steel, mild steel, alloy steel, and non-ferrous metals. Its flexible structure conforms easily to curved or irregular surfaces, delivering smooth and even finishes.
How does the flexible design improve performance?
The flexible flap construction allows better contact with the workpiece, especially on contoured or rounded surfaces. This ensures consistent pressure, prevents gouging, and improves surface smoothness compared to traditional flat flap discs.
Can this disc be used on stainless steel or aluminum?
Yes. The Flexible Flap Disc works effectively on stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, and other non-ferrous metals. Its cool-grinding action minimizes heat buildup and prevents discoloration or warping of the surface.
How does this disc compare to regular flap discs?
Unlike standard flap discs, the Flexible Flap Disc adapts to complex shapes, corners, and contours. It offers smoother results, reduced vibration, and greater operator comfort — making it ideal for precision finishing work.
How can I extend the lifespan and ensure safe use of Flexible Flap Discs?
Always operate within the recommended RPM, avoid excessive pressure, and store discs in a dry, cool environment. Regularly inspect the disc before use to ensure no cracks or damage. Proper handling not only increases safety but also prolongs disc life and maintains consistent performance.
