3M Flap Disc 566A, T27 Quick Change, Giant 7 in x 5/8-11, 80, 5 per case

Product Description 3M Flap Disc 566A provides a versatile one-disc system for metal fabrication applications where more durability is needed for medium-weight grinding, small weld removal, finishing, and surface preparation. Run on a right angle grinder, this disc is a one-step alternative to bonded wheels and fiber discs. From the Manufacturer The 3M™ Flap Disc 566A Giant Quick Change Disc provides a versatile one-disc system for metal fabrication applications such as medium-weight grinding, small weld removal, finishing, and surface preparation on a right angle grinder. The one-step alternative to bonded wheels and fiber discs, this disc runs fast enough for stock removal but provides cushioning with the flaps for a smooth finish. The 566A flap disc features self-fracturing alumina zirconia abrasive with a superior cut-rate to aluminum oxide, and versatile performance on many metal types. The giant size option of this product has the same diameter as standard 7" flap discs but wider flaps. The wider flaps create extra-thick layers and are packed with 25% more abrasive material than on standard flap discs, for even longer life. The 566A flap disc is made with strong yet flexible Y-weight polyester-cotton backing that is well-suited for handling sharp edges and medium to high pressure applications, making this disc a great choice for the majority of grinding and finishing jobs. It is resin-coated for heat resistance. Type 27 is designed for flat surfaces or outside edges, and produces a smooth finish. Under normal conditions, flap discs will generate a finish that is one grade finer than the finish of a fiber disc of the same grade. Flap discs can be easily adapted to most right angle grinders. Quick change discs have a 5/8-11 threaded center hole and come with their own attachment hubs. Giant flap discs have a Max RPM of 8,600. Flap discs are three-dimensional grinding discs with overlapping layers or flaps that fan out from a central hub. These abrasive-coated, polyester-cotton flaps continually wear away with use to expose fresh mineral for a fast, consistent cut. And, because their overlapping construction allows more abrasive material to be loaded onto the cutting surface, they far outlast typical discs. Flap discs are ideal for a wide range of applications, including grinding of small welds (with grades less than 80), deburring, rust removal, edge grinding, and weld seam blending. Alumina zirconia (sometimes called AZ or zirconia alumina) fractures frequently to continually produce fresh sharp points and delivers a faster cut-rate than aluminum oxide. A man-made mineral, it was developed for heavy stock removal and high pressure grinding. For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals. Today the company, from its headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota, serves industrial and commercial customers and consumers in nearly 200 countries. Abrasive Systems products, including a complete line of coated abrasives, microfinishing and microreplicated abrasives, and hardware accessories, provide the finishing touch for almost any surface modification application. The 3M brand, across thousands of products, represents consistency, superior quality, and value.
