Flap disc technology allows fast grind rate with long life

Weiler Corp. has launched the Tiger® X flap disc. It features the company’s X3 technology, which combines a triple split coat grain anchoring system, dual flap design, and engineered abrasive cloth backing with intermixed ceramic alumina and zirconia alumina materials. According to the company, this combination creates a fast grind rate while increasing life.

The triple split coat material helps ensure consistent cut rate throughout the life of the disc without the need to apply more pressure. The ceramic and zirconia alumina material blend allows for high initial cut rates and consistent grinding, the manufacturer reports.

The disc replaces the Tiger phenolic-backed flap disc in 4.5-, 5-, and 7-in. sizes.
