What Is a Flap Disc?
A flap disc is a type of abrasive tool used in metalworking. Compared to other abrasives like fiber discs and offset grinding wheels, flap discs offer superior cushioning, which helps even beginners avoid creating deep scratches or gouges, enhancing the user’s sense of security.
They also provide stable abrasive power and consistent finishing quality. As the upper layer of the abrasive cloth wears down, a new layer is exposed, ensuring continuous, consistent performance.
Flap discs are used for various applications, including deburring, removing rust and paint, eliminating scratches and spatter, and grinding and polishing iron.
