Blue-Kote Aluminum Backing Plate Flap Disc 4-1/2"

• Two tools in one – grind and finish at the same time; no more switching from a Type 27 grinding wheel to a resin fiber sanding disc
• High-performance wheel cuts cleaner, cooler, faster, and lasts longer than conventional fiber-backed abrasive discs
• Reduced clogging, loading and glazing
• Zirconium grain – individual flaps, comprised of thick layers of high-tech zirconium abrasive cloth, are bonded to the backing plate. The layers are angled to suit the natural working angle of a grinder, so more abrasive makes contact with the work surface. As the layers slowly wear, more abrasive is exposed for a constant finish throughout disc life
• Much quieter than grinding discs
• No backing pad required
• Ideal for 15° – 25° working angle
• Aluminum backing provides extra strength, allowing for more aggressive grinding and better removal of material
• For use on portable right-angle grinders
• Suitable for use on a wide variety of materials, including stainless steel
• Use for stock and weld removal, blending and dressing on truck and bus bodies, in shipbuilding and repair applications, on farm machinery and equipment, in fabricated structural metal and plate work, and in sheet metal work
IMPORTANT: If you are currently using a resin fiber grinding disc, you should order your Blue-Kote Flap Disc one to two grits coarser to obtain a similar finish.
CAUTION: Protect yourself from product breakage and flying particles. Always wear eye and face protection, and make sure machine guards are in place. Comply with ANSI B7.1.
