Flap Discs

The Flap Disc is a revolutionary hybrid coated abrasive product that combines the stock removal capabilities of a depressed center wheel with the surface finishing characteristics of a resin fibre disc. The result is an abrasive tool that can perform the functions of grinding and finishing simultaneously.

A series of flaps made of abrasive cloth are attached to a semi-rigid fiberglass backing in a fan-like arrangement. As the flaps gradually wear during use, there is a continual supply of "new" grains exposed from the under layers.
