Weiler 50502 Tiger Flap Disc, Type 29, 4 Dia., 36 Grit

The Weiler Tiger type 29 angled-style zirconia alumina abrasive flap disc is designed with an aluminum backing for strong reinforcement and features an unthreaded round hole for easy attachment to grinding tools. This flap disc is ideal for working on curved surfaces and offers superior durability compared to aluminum oxide due to its self-sharpening properties.

This type of abrasive is perfect for applications that require fast material removal rates and aggressive grinding, such as weld blending, deburring, deflashing, edge chamfering, stock removal, and one-step grinding and finishing. The angled shape of the disc ensures maximum contact with the workpiece and is commonly used with right-angle grinders at a 15- to 35-degree angle. The unthreaded round hole allows for quick attachment to the grinding tool, with the arbor passing through the central hole for secure fastening.

Abrasive flap discs consist of overlapping pieces of coated abrasive attached to a hub, reducing finishing time and costs by combining grinding and finishing in one step. These discs are coated with adhesives to attach abrasive grains to a backing of paper, plastic, or cloth. The action of a flap disc is similar to that of a sanding disc, with the grinding or polishing taking place on the face of the disc. They are versatile tools used for shaping parts and achieving fine finishes, depending on the grit size.
