Product Description

Surface Conditioning Flap Disc

Our Surface Conditioning Flap Disc combines flexible non-woven abrasive material with a durable layered flap construction. It is designed to provide controlled cutting action and a consistent finish while minimizing the risk of gouging, undercutting or significantly changing the dimensions of the workpiece.

Unlike conventional coated abrasive flap discs used for heavy stock removal, surface conditioning flap discs are ideal for light deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing operations. The flexible abrasive flaps follow the shape of the workpiece and maintain effective contact with flat, curved and irregular surfaces.

The product is available in 115 mm (4-1/2”), 125 mm (5”) and 180 mm (7”) diameters. Five abrasive grades—from Coarse to Ultra Fine—allow users to select the appropriate balance between material removal and surface refinement.
