62228 - Pferd POLIFAN 7-Inch Zirconia Flap Disc 40 Grit Type 29

Industrial Grade 7-Inch Flap Disc for Heavy Steel Fabrication

The Pferd 62228 POLIFAN Flap Disc is a premium abrasive tool designed for industrial applications requiring rapid stock removal and extended durability. Part of the Superior line, this 7-inch disc utilizes high-quality Zirconia Alumina grain, a material renowned in the industry for its toughness and self-sharpening properties. Unlike standard aluminum oxide discs that dull relatively quickly, Zirconia Alumina fractures under pressure to reveal fresh, sharp cutting edges, maintaining a high cut rate throughout the lifespan of the product. This makes it an economical choice for high-volume fabrication shops where downtime for disc changes needs to be minimized.

Engineered with a Type 29 conical profile, this flap disc features angled flaps that provide a larger surface area contact when the grinder is held at a standard 15 to 25-degree angle. This configuration is particularly advantageous for aggressive grinding, edge chamfering, and weld leveling on steel structures. The 40 grit specification indicates a coarse abrasive texture, specifically selected for heavy-duty tasks such as grinding down heavy weld seams, removing deep scale, or shaping metal edges prior to welding. The 7-inch diameter offers significantly more abrasive material than smaller 4.5-inch or 5-inch counterparts, making it ideal for working on large surface areas like tanks, pipes, and structural beams.

Pferd's manufacturing process ensures a robust construction where the abrasive flaps are securely bonded to a durable backing plate. This design absorbs vibration and allows for high contact pressure without failure, providing the operator with stability and control. The 7/8-inch arbor hole is the industry standard for 7-inch angle grinders, ensuring broad compatibility with existing power tools in your facility. Whether used for shipbuilding, structural steel erection, or general heavy machinery maintenance, the Pferd 62228 delivers the consistent performance professionals demand.
