OVERVIEW

Premium Performance for Heavy-Duty Steel Grinding

The Pferd 60642 POLIFAN Flap Disc represents the pinnacle of abrasive engineering for industrial steel applications. Part of the Performance SG-STEEL line, this 6-inch disc is designed to bridge the gap between aggressive stock removal and fine surface finishing. Built with high-quality Zirconia Alumina grain, it delivers a fast cut rate that holds up under the thermal stress of heavy grinding, making it an essential tool for professional fabricators and metalworkers.

Extended Service Life

One of the standout features of this model is its robust construction. It is manufactured with approximately 40% more abrasive material than the standard PSF line of flap discs. This high-density configuration translates directly to a longer service life, reducing the frequency of disc changes and thereby increasing overall shop productivity. The durable fiberglass backing plate provides stability and safety, absorbing vibration to reduce operator fatigue during prolonged use.

Optimized Type 29 Shape

The Type 29 conical profile features angled flaps (typically around 10 to 15 degrees) which allow for greater surface contact when the grinder is held at a natural angle. This shape is particularly advantageous for contour work, edge grinding, and weld seam removal, as it allows the operator to apply more pressure for aggressive cutting without gouging the workpiece. The 60 grit density serves as an excellent middle-ground, capable of leveling welds quickly while leaving a surface finish that is easy to blend or prepare for painting.

Applications and Compatibility

Engineered specifically for use on carbon steel, this disc resists glazing and loading, ensuring consistent performance from the first spark to the last. It features a standard 7/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with most professional 6-inch angle grinders available on the market. Whether you are deburring flame-cut parts, chamfering edges, or blending heavy welds, the Pferd 60642 delivers the reliability and speed required in demanding industrial environments.

FAQ

Type 29 discs have a conical shape with angled flaps, ideal for aggressive grinding and contour work at angles of 15-25 degrees. Type 27 discs are flat, better suited for blending and finishing on flat surfaces at lower angles (0-15 degrees).

While it can physically grind aluminum, this disc is optimized for steel. Using it on aluminum may cause the disc to 'load' or clog with soft metal, reducing its life. A disc specifically designed for non-ferrous metals is recommended for aluminum.

Zirconia Alumina is a synthetic abrasive grain that is tougher and more durable than standard aluminum oxide. It is self-sharpening and withstands high heat, making it excellent for heavy-duty grinding on steel and stainless steel.

Always check the label on the physical disc for the specific safety rating. Generally, 6-inch flap discs are rated for a maximum speed around 10,200 RPM. Never exceed the Max RPM marked on the product.

No, this flap disc comes with an integrated fiberglass backing plate. It mounts directly to the angle grinder using the standard flange nut or a quick-change nut, requiring no separate backing pad.

The SG (Performance) line is a step up from the PSF (Universal) line. It typically features higher-grade abrasive grains and a denser flap configuration (up to 40% more material), offering longer life and faster cutting speeds for professional users.

Standard PPE for angle grinding includes a face shield over safety glasses, hearing protection, heavy-duty gloves, and flame-resistant clothing. Ensure the grinder guard is always in place.
