Weiler 50843 Big Cat High Density Abrasive Flap Disc, 7 Dia.

The Weiler Big Cat Type 27 high-density zirconia alumina abrasive flap disc features a phenolic backing for reinforcement and a threaded hole for easy attachment to grinding tools. Its design is thicker than standard discs, allowing for use on flat, irregular, and curved surfaces. The self-sharpening zirconia alumina abrasive is more durable than aluminum oxide, enabling fast material removal rates and aggressive grinding. This results in a high-quality, consistent finish with a 30-40% longer lifespan compared to regular flap discs.

Ideal for tasks such as weld blending, deburring, deflashing, edge chamfering, stock removal, and one-step grinding and finishing, the Type 27 depressed center flap style offers versatility and efficiency. The flat surface of the disc is compatible with vertical shaft grinders and right-angle grinders, typically used at a 0- to 15-degree angle.

Constructed from overlapping pieces of coated abrasive attached to a hub, abrasive flap discs are designed to streamline finishing processes, reducing both time and costs. These discs utilize adhesive to attach abrasive grains to a backing made of paper, plastic, or cloth. The grinding or polishing action occurs on the face of the disc, similar to a sanding disc.

Weiler, a manufacturer of precision brushes, abrasives, and maintenance products, was established in Germany in 1898 and is currently headquartered in Cresco, PA. The company is ISO 9001 certified, adhering to international quality standards.

With its self-sharpening zirconia alumina abrasive, durable phenolic backing, high-density design, and threaded hole for attachment, the Weiler Big Cat Type 27 flap disc is a reliable and efficient tool for various grinding and finishing applications.
