62957 - Pferd Polifan 5-Inch Zirconia Flap Disc 50 Grit Type 29

High-Performance Abrasive Solution for Industrial Grinding

The Pferd 62957 Polifan Flap Disc is a premium abrasive tool engineered for demanding industrial environments. Designed with a 5-inch diameter and a 7/8-inch arbor, this disc is compatible with standard angle grinders and is specifically formulated to deliver superior results in edge grinding, chamfering, and deburring applications. The Polifan line by Pferd is renowned for its robust construction and ability to maintain consistent cutting performance over an extended service life, reducing the frequency of disc changes and increasing overall operational efficiency.

This specific model features a coarse 50 grit abrasive, making it an excellent choice for intermediate to heavy stock removal. Whether you are leveling welds or removing heavy scale, the aggressive nature of the 50 grit ensures rapid material removal without sacrificing control. The abrasive material is typically high-quality Zirconia Alumina, a grain known for its toughness and self-sharpening properties. As the grains fracture during use, they expose new, sharp cutting edges, preventing the disc from glazing over and ensuring a continuous, aggressive bite into the metal.

The Type 29 conical shape is a critical feature of this flap disc. Unlike flat (Type 27) discs, the conical profile is angled, which allows for more comfortable and effective grinding at steeper angles (typically 15 to 25 degrees). This makes the Pferd 62957 particularly effective for working on contours, edges, and fillet welds where surface contact is paramount. The angled flaps provide greater surface area contact when the grinder is held at a natural working angle, resulting in smoother finishes and faster stock removal rates.

Durability is a hallmark of the Pferd brand. The flaps are securely bonded to a reinforced backing plate, ensuring safety and stability even under high-pressure grinding. This structural integrity minimizes vibration, reducing operator fatigue and protecting the power tool from unnecessary wear. For fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and industrial manufacturing facilities requiring reliable and efficient abrasive solutions, the Pferd 62957 Polifan Flap Disc offers a perfect balance of aggression, longevity, and finish quality.
