What is flap disc?
A flap is an abrasive product designed for right angle grinding machine applications consisting of overlapping abrasive "flaps" that are radially glued to the backplate. Flaps discs became popular for benefits such as rapid demolding and the ability to perform grinding, mixing, and finishing in one product.
Many flap discs remove up to many times the material with fewer workpiece grooves than standard grinding wheels. They are also easier to control, resulting in better workpiece quality and fewer replacements. There is no need to replace grinding wheels, and the user experiences less downtime, less varnishing, loading and workpiece discoloration. In addition to their ease of use, flap discs are also the operator's first choice because they generate lower vibration and noise levels.
Working theory of flap disc
The meta and wood are polished and rusted by an Angle grinder equipped with Flap disc, It should be noted that water should not be added when using
Flap disc Shape:
Flap discs are available in two shapes: T27 flat-shape or T29 conical .
Type 27 :
Type 27 high-density flap discs have the same straight profile associated with flat flap discs, and they contain added thickness. They are ideal for grinding at angles between 0 and 15 degrees. They conform easily to irregular surfaces and provide smooth blending, grinding and finishing on flat surfaces as well.
Type 29:
Type 29 high-density flap discs have an angled profile associated with conical flap discs. They are ideal for grinding at angles between 15 and 35 degrees. Their density and angled design make them ideal for operators looking for aggressive stock removal while also conforming to irregular workpiece surfaces.
