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.
