Flap Discs - Premier Red Zirconia Alumina

The “All-in-One” Disc

Carborundum Premier Red Zirconia Alumina Resin Cloth coated abrasive flap discs are engineered for light stock removal, blending and finishing all in one application. Using a right angle grinder, they grind like a depressed center wheel and finish like a fibre disc – helping you reduce process time and lower your total grinding costs, and without the need for any special tools. Ideal for metal grinding and polishing, especially for weld bead grinding on fine carbon and stainless steel. This product is part of the Carborundum BEST product tier group.
