Product Specification

4-1/2" X 7/8" T29 FLAP DISC FOR ALUMINUM WITH STEARATE COATING - 1 PIECE

4-1/2" x 7/8" T29 Flap Disc for Aluminum with Stearate Coating are manufactured using European cloth. The European material is superior due to its uniform particle size and premium blend of ingredients. These discs exceed our other flap discs by packing 40% more abrasives on each snippet than our regular density discs. In addition, all discs are manufactured on computer-controlled machines and subject to numerous tests which ensure high quality and greater safety.

These flap discs excel on soft metals like aluminum. They don't gum up like a regular zirconia or aluminum flap disc. The stearate coating, which gives the flap disc its silver color, will liquefy under heat and provide a protective coat on the flaps that prevent loading/gumming up on soft metals.

This deburring flap disc is made from aluminum oxide grains which easily enable the sanding disc for a powerful, abrasive cut on carbon and steel applications. These flap disc wheels are coarser to easily remove heavier stock making the surface smooth and finished. It cleans up the welds or removes blemishes from any metal.

Edward K. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about how well a flap disc would handle aluminum without gumming up, but this one with the stearate coating cut through smoothly and left a surprisingly clean finish.

Evelyn K. ★★★★★

Finally, a flap disc that doesn't load up on aluminum—the stearate coating really does keep it cutting smoothly without clogging. Used it to blend a weld on a trailer fender and was surprised how clean the finish came out with no extra work.

Richard ★★★★☆

The stearate coating on this 4-1/2" disc really does its job—I got through a solid batch of aluminum without the grit clogging up mid-way, which is usually my biggest gripe. Only reason it's not a full five stars is I wish they sold it in a multi-pack, since one piece goes fast when you're on a roll
