Abrasive discs help you to cut, grind, clean and smooth to achieve the required finish. We offer a high-quality range of cutting discs, grinding discs, flap discs and sanding discs all capable of fitting on benchtop grinders and handheld angle grinders. Brought to you through some of the leading brands such as 3M, Norton, Bosch and our very own RS PRO.

### What are Grinding Discs?

Grinding Discs are great for all types of angle grinders for use on materials such as metals, plastic and stone. These discs primarily are used for removing material but can also be used for finishing and preparing both stone and metal surfaces. Grinding discs can come in various forms with Tungsten Carbide discs being great for use on rough concrete, tiles or brickwork. A more traditional general-purpose grain disc is great for everyday cleaning metals and masonry.

### What are Cutting Discs?

Cutting Discs make it a lot quicker and easier to cut through hard materials with a high-quality cut. Cutting discs have a similar makeup to grinding discs with traditional abrasive grains held together with resin, but new diamond cutting discs offer superior cutting performance. Diamond cutting discs have great temperature resistance and extremely impact resistant to ensure continuous use.

### What are Flap Discs?

Flap discs are made from layers of abrasive cloth consisting of abrasive material. The abrasive cloth is angled on a supporting plate and last up to 10 times longer than conventional fibre discs. For use on wood, metal, painted surfaces and masonry. As the material wears away it exposes a new, fresh face of abrasive therefore achieving much higher material removal. Flap discs are particularly effective for rust removal and general finishing.

### What are Sanding Discs?

Sanding Discs can be used with power or hand sanding applications, and come in a multitude of options. Their various sizes to suit different tools or project applications makes allows flexibility when sanding either large areas or smaller detailed works. Sanding pads typically have a hook and loop backing for an easy change in and out on both hand pads and power sanders. Other pads may feature an adhesive backing for use with benchtop disk sanders or a locking system for more specific tools. The abrasive grit size of sanding discs is a standardised measure for the size of the grit.

3M supply a range of Flap Discs that are ideal for use on a variety of materials. They are made from layers of abrasive cloth consisting of abrasive material. The abrasive cloth is angled on a supporting plate and last up to 10 times longer than conventional fibre discs. For use on wood, metal, painted surfaces and masonry. The advantage of flap discs is that as the material wears away it exposes a new, fresh face of abrasive therefore achieving much higher material removal. Flap discs are particularly effective for rust removal and general finishing applications.What is a flap disc good for?A flap disc is an important tool for metalworking and woodworking. It consists of overlapping abrasive, alumina cloth flaps that are glued onto a rigid backing plate. These discs are an ideal choice for grinding, deburring, and polishing metal surfaces such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum and other hard materials.What grit flap disc do I need?If you are looking for a grit flap disc, it is important to know what kind of material you will be working with and the level of detail you need from the grinding job. Different grits have different levels of aggressiveness, which can vary depending on the type of material you will be working with. A coarse grit flap disc is ideal for removing material quickly, while a finer grit will create a smoother and more finished look. Additionally, when selecting the right flap disc, it is important to consider the size of the area that needs to be worked on, as larger discs are better suited for larger projects.Once you have determined what type of material you will be working with, it is time to select the right grit flap disc. The most common types of flap discs are coarse, medium, and fine. Coarse grits remove material quickly but leave a rough finish. Medium grits provide a balance between speed and quality of finish, while fine grits allow for superior control and higher quality.
