Weiler Abrasives expands line of aluminum flap discs

Weiler Abrasives has expanded its aluminum abrasives offering to include Tiger aluminum flap discs featuring a paired flap design. The design includes a top flap with a coating that prevents loading, provides a high cut rate, and eliminates the need to apply wax or lubricant before grinding aluminum, says the company. Alternating flaps of self-sharpening zirconia aluminum grains offer aggressive material removal.

The 4-1/2-in. flap discs are offered in Type 27 or Type 29 with either 7/8 or 5/8-11 arbor holes and two grit options. The 36-grit disc is a good choice for chamfering, weld removal, and stock removal, while the 60-grit disc is suitable for weld blending, finishing, and cosmetic detail work.
