OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Zirconia Flap Disc for Industrial Finishing

The Pferd 60637 POLIFAN® Flap Disc is a premium abrasive tool engineered for demanding industrial environments where longevity and finish quality are paramount. Part of Pferd's high-performance line, this 5-inch disc features a 7/8-inch arbor and utilizes high-quality Zirconia Alumina grain, renowned for its toughness and self-sharpening properties. The 120 grit configuration makes it an exceptional choice for secondary finishing steps, blending welds, and preparing surfaces for painting or coating.

What sets this specific model apart is its "Thick" construction. It is designed with a special flap arrangement that packs approximately 40% more abrasive material than standard PSF flap discs. This high-density design translates directly to extended service life, allowing operators to work longer without stopping to replace consumables. For fabrication shops focused on efficiency, this reduction in downtime and changeover frequency can lead to significant operational savings over time.

The disc is built on a Type 29 (conical) profile. This angled shape is optimized for aggressive stock removal and contour work, allowing the operator to maintain a comfortable working angle between 15 and 25 degrees. The conical design maximizes surface contact area, ensuring consistent wear across the flaps. The fiberglass backing plate provides necessary rigidity while absorbing vibration, resulting in a smoother grind and reduced operator fatigue.

This versatile abrasive is formulated for dual use on both Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX). It delivers cool grinding performance to prevent heat discoloration on stainless substrates while maintaining the aggression needed for carbon steel. Whether used for deburring, chamfering, or surface blending, the Pferd 60637 delivers professional-grade results consistent with the manufacturer's reputation for quality and safety.

FAQ

Type 29 refers to the shape of the disc. It is conical (angled), which is ideal for aggressive grinding and contour work at an angle of 15 to 25 degrees, providing better surface contact than flat (Type 27) discs.

This disc is designed for use on both Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX). The Zirconia grain works effectively on these ferrous metals without contaminating stainless surfaces.

The 'Thick' designation indicates a high-density flap arrangement containing approximately 40% more abrasive material than standard discs, resulting in significantly longer service life.

120 grit is a fine abrasive used for finishing, blending, and smoothing surfaces. It is typically used after coarser grits (like 40 or 60) to remove scratches and prepare the metal for painting or polishing.

This disc fits standard 5-inch angle grinders that have a 7/8-inch arbor (spindle).

Yes, for metalworking, Zirconia Alumina is generally superior to Aluminum Oxide. It is tougher, more heat-resistant, and self-sharpens, making it longer-lasting and more aggressive on steel and stainless.

While you can, Type 29 discs are optimized for angled grinding. For purely flat surface blending, a Type 27 (flat) disc might be preferred, but Type 29 is more versatile for general fabrication.
