POLIFAN-STRONG Flap Discs

The patented POLIFAN-STRONG flap discs from PFERD reportedly remove more material in less time than most other consumable abrasives for angle grinders. Featuring a unique extended flap design for consistent and extremely aggressive grinding up to the last grain, this disc delivers optimal performance for high-powered angle grinders. The combination of maximum metal removal and long tool life cuts downtime by reducing tool changes and lessens labor costs by reducing grinding time.

POLIFAN-STRONG flap discs are finding numerous uses in areas such as steel construction, foundries, ship building, automotive, tank construction, fabrication and pipeline work. The coated flaps are produced with a high-performance zirconia alumina abrasive, available in 36-grit for coarse grinding of steel and weld seams or 50-grit for work on edges such as chamfering and deburring. The discs are available in 4½, 5 and 7 in. diameters with either plain 7/8 in. bore or 5/8–11 threads.
