62261 - Pferd POLIFAN 5-Inch Zirconia Flap Disc 80 Grit Type 29 for Steel

Industrial Grade Steel Grinding Solution

The Pferd POLIFAN Type 29 Flap Disc (SKU: 62261) represents a premium solution for industrial metalworking facilities focused on processing carbon steel. Engineered with a high-performance Zirconia Alumina grain, this abrasive tool is designed to deliver aggressive stock removal rates while maintaining a long service life, effectively lowering the total cost of operation in high-volume production environments.

This specific model features a 5-inch diameter with a standard 7/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial angle grinders. The "Steel Superior" classification denotes that the abrasive bond and grain orientation are specifically tuned for steel applications. Unlike general-purpose discs that may glaze over or wear prematurely on hard ferrous metals, this Pferd disc maintains its cutting edge, ensuring consistent performance from the first spark to the last.

Optimized Geometry for Edge Work

The Type 29 conical shape is a critical feature for operators working on complex geometries. The angled profile allows for greater surface contact when the grinder is held at a natural 15 to 25-degree angle. This makes the disc particularly effective for:

• Grinding down heavy weld seams
• Chamfering and edge breaking
• Contour grinding on curved surfaces

80 Grit for Refined Finishes

While coarser grits are used for heavy hogging, the 80 grit composition of this disc strikes an excellent balance between material removal and surface finish. It is aggressive enough to blend welds but leaves a scratch pattern that is fine enough for many painting or coating preparations without extensive secondary processing. The robust fiberglass backing plate provides necessary support for high-pressure grinding while dampening vibration to reduce operator fatigue during extended shifts.
