Which Flap Disc Do You Need?
Angled VS Flat
The different variations have definite
application advantages. For example the flat
discs are best suited for flat surface grinding
and offer a high degree of aggressiveness.
An angled flap disc will grind a
narrower band of material then
what a flat flap disc will. This
narrower work space makes
an angled disc well suited for
working edges, welded seams,
and rounded surfaces. The flat
flap discs will allow you to work
flat surfaces at a greater rate,
creating a more consistent
surface.
The 6˚ convex discs are best suited for flat or
slight contour work and are 25% - 30% more
aggressive than the 12˚ convex discs.
Our 12˚ convex discs are perfect for more
contoured work and are easier to use for
many inexperienced users.
