40 GRIT ZIRCONIA FLAP DISC, 4-1/2" x 7/8", 13,300 MAX RPM

Engineered for rapid material removal and a consistent finish, this 40-grit zirconia flap disc is a high-performance abrasive for grinding, blending, and finishing metal surfaces. The premium zirconia alumina grain provides an aggressive, cool cut and an extended service life on steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals. It is designed for use on standard 4-1/2" angle grinders.

  • 40 Grit Zirconia Alumina Abrasive
  • ANSI B7.1 Compliant
  • Max Speed: 13,300 RPM
  • Application: Grinding & Finishing Metals
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

This industrial-grade flap disc is constructed with premium zirconia alumina abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable fiberglass backing plate. The 40-grit grain structure is designed for aggressive stock removal, weld grinding, and heavy deburring tasks. Zirconia alumina is a self-sharpening abrasive, meaning new, sharp cutting points are continuously exposed during use, resulting in a faster cut rate and longer life compared to standard aluminum oxide discs. The layered flap design allows the disc to grind and finish in a single step, reducing downtime.

Ideal for metal fabricators, welders, and MRO professionals in the Los Angeles area, this flap disc excels at tasks on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other heat-sensitive alloys. It is the perfect tool for cleaning up welds, removing rust or paint, chamfering edges, and surface blending. Its versatility makes it a staple consumable for manufacturing, construction, and general industrial maintenance. This disc provides consistent performance for both high-production environments and detailed finishing work.

Specifications

  • Material: Zirconia Alumina Abrasive, Fiberglass Backing
  • Standards: ANSI B7.1 (Safety Requirements for Abrasive Wheels)
  • Strength/Tensile: Max Operating Speed: 13,300 RPM
  • Dimensions: 4-1/2" Diameter x 7/8" Arbor Hole
  • Finish: Not Applicable (Abrasive Consumable)
  • Certifications: ANSI B7.1 Compliant

Applications

  • Metal Fabrication: Weld grinding, stock removal, deburring, and edge chamfering on steel and stainless steel components.
  • Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO): Removing rust, scale, and old coatings from machinery; surface preparation for painting.
  • Construction: Finishing structural steel connections, cleaning metal surfaces on-site, and smoothing cuts.
  • Automotive & Marine: Bodywork, frame repair, and removing corrosion prior to refinishing.

Target Users

This flap disc is an essential tool for professional welders, metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and construction workers who require efficient and reliable metal grinding and finishing solutions. It's designed for heavy use in industrial shops and field applications.

Finish Options

This is a consumable abrasive product and does not have a finish option. It is used to create a specific surface finish on a workpiece, with the 40-grit rating providing a coarse, rough finish suitable for initial grinding stages.

How to Measure

To ensure compatibility, specify the disc's diameter, arbor (center hole) size, and grit. The diameter must match your angle grinder's capacity (e.g., 4-1/2"), and the arbor size must match the grinder's spindle (e.g., 7/8"). Select the grit based on the application: lower numbers (like 40) are for aggressive material removal, while higher numbers are for smoother finishing.

Example: Product: Zirconia Flap Disc, Size: 4-1/2" x 7/8", Grit: 40, Quantity: 50

Order Checklist

  • Product name and grit size (e.g., 40 Grit Zirconia Flap Disc)
  • Dimensions (Diameter x Arbor Size)
  • Quantity required (sold individually or in bulk packs)
  • Application material (e.g., steel, stainless)
  • Confirm compatibility with your angle grinder's RPM rating
  • Any related PPE needed (e.g., safety glasses, gloves)
