Flap discs are abrasive tools that consist of overlapping flaps of abrasive material bonded to a backing plate. They are widely used in metalworking and fabrication industries, as well as in woodworking and other applications. Flap discs offer several benefits over traditional abrasive discs, including increased efficiency, versatility, and longer lifespan. One of the key benefits of flap discs is their increased efficiency in grinding and finishing applications. Their unique design allows for more surface area to be covered, resulting in faster material removal and reduced finishing times. This increased efficiency also leads to longer machine and tool life, as less wear and tear is placed on the equipment. Flap discs are also versatile tools, suitable for use on a range of materials, including steel, aluminium, wood, and plastic. They are available in a variety of grits, allowing for precision work and smooth finishing. They can be used for grinding, blending, deburring, and finishing, providing a multi‑purpose solution to various applications. Another benefit of flap discs is their longer lifespan compared to traditional abrasive discs. Due to their design and composition, flap discs can last up to ten times longer than conventional grinding discs, resulting in cost savings for the user. Additionally, they require less pressure and force to achieve the same results, reducing operator fatigue and improving safety in the workplace.
