Angled flap discs grind hard-to-reach places

Weiler Abrasives Group has added an angled flap disc to its Tiger® coated abrasives lineup. The disc delivers aggressive grinding with flexibility for finishing fillet welds, T-joints, and hard-to-reach places and for repair and rework. The disc is designed for grinding steel, stainless steel, and aluminum without wearing prematurely.

A 90-degree angled flap design allows the operator to grind at a higher or lower angle, while the phenolic backing provides stability to the flaps. This combination optimizes flap-to-metal contact, resulting in better feel and control for the operator during grinding and finishing, according to the company. In addition, the angled flaps help reduce the risk of gouging the workpiece while grinding fillet welds for a smoother finish.

The disc is available in 7/8-in. arbor or with a 5/8-11 nut for fast changeover.
