Flap discs remove metal with smooth finish
By simultaneously producing a high cut rate and a smooth finish, the abrasive flap disc reduces the amount of time spent in expensive intermediate finishing operations.
Power brushes remove damaging burrs
Power brushes remove damaging burrs and sharp edges and improve the quality and the performance of gears, while also lowering manufacturing costs compared to other deburring methods.
Their thickness, and larger flaps, conform to curved and irregular surfaces.
The high density Type 27 configuration adds flexibility for smoother grinding action and also lowers operator fatigue.
Typical applications for Big Cat flap discs include weld blending, grinding, deburring, deflashing, stock removal, surface finishing and blending, and edge chamfering.
The same high cut rate and quality of finish are maintained throughout the life of flap discs because the multiple layers of coated abrasive material expose sharp, fresh grains as they slowly wear away.
The enhanced conformability of the Big Cat abrasive flap disc also helps reduce gouging and undercutting.
In addition to producing a better quality product, end users are able to increase productivity and reduce operating costs due to the long life offered by the Big Cat.
Weiler Big Cat flap discs are available in both 4.1/2in and 7in sizes, with or without a 5/8in-11 nut.
These phenolic-backed discs are available in both aluminum oxide and zirconium.
For the same increased conformability as a Big Cat but at a value price, Weiler also offers their Vortec Pro 4.1/2in high density flap disc.
Weiler offers a full line of standard and specialty flap discs in a variety of styles and grit sizes to solve a wide range of surface conditioning applications.
