What are flexovit flap discs?
A Flexovit flap disc is a type of abrasive grinding tool used for metalworking, woodworking, and other industrial applications. It consists of a circular disc made of abrasive cloth or paper, with overlapping flaps arranged around its circumference. The flaps are made of a tough, durable material such as zirconia alumina or ceramic, and are designed to wear away gradually during use, exposing fresh abrasive grains to maintain consistent grinding performance.
Flexovit flap discs are available in a range of sizes and grits, allowing them to be used for a variety of grinding and finishing tasks on different materials. They are typically used with angle grinders and can be used for removing rust and corrosion, grinding welds and seams, and shaping and smoothing metal or wood surfaces. They offer fast, aggressive material removal with minimal clogging or glazing, and can provide a smooth finish with reduced vibration and noise compared to other grinding tools.
uses
Flexovit flap discs are versatile tools that can be used for a wide range of grinding and finishing tasks, including:
1. Removing welds and seams: Flap discs can quickly and efficiently remove welds and seams on metal surfaces, leaving a smooth finish without damaging the underlying material.
2. Shaping and smoothing: Flap discs are useful for shaping and smoothing metal or wood surfaces, removing burrs and sharp edges, and preparing surfaces for painting or coating.
3. Removing rust and corrosion: Flap discs can be used to remove rust and corrosion from metal surfaces, preparing them for further treatment or finishing.
4. Grinding and blending: Flap discs can be used to grind and blend metal surfaces, achieving a smooth finish while removing imperfections and rough edges.
5. Finishing and polishing: Flap discs can be used for finishing and polishing metal surfaces, achieving a smooth, reflective finish with minimal scratching or marring.
6. Deburring: Flap discs can remove burrs and sharp edges from metal parts, improving safety and functionality.
Flexovit flap discs are versatile and effective grinding tools that can save time and effort in a wide range of industrial applications.
