The premium abrasive grain provides an aggressive, consistent cut, while the specialized stearate coating helps reduce loading, clogging, and material buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUnlike conventional flap discs that can quickly gum up when used on aluminum, the stearate treatment liquefies slightly as heat develops during grinding. This creates a protective barrier across the abrasive flaps, helping prevent aluminum particles from sticking to the disc. The result is cleaner cutting, longer disc life, and less downtime replacing loaded abrasives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe curved flap design provides improved access to fillet welds, inside corners, contours, and other hard-to-reach areas. Its compact 3-inch diameter offers excellent control on smaller components and detailed fabrication work, while the quick-change attachment allows operators to replace discs in seconds without tools. These curved mini flap discs are ideal for fabrication shops, automotive applications, maintenance work, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 pieces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUse in combination with our 3” Quick Change Rubber Mandrel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e**Mandrel sold separately**\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter Diameter – 3”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank Diameter – R-Type quick change connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacking Material – X-weight Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain – Aluminum Oxide (AO) with stearate Coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Grits – 36, 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax RPM – 25,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for aluminum and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStearate coating helps prevent loading and gumming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved flap design reaches fillet welds and inside corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with both the face and edge of the disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 3-inch diameter provides greater control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for grinding, deburring, blending, and finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-change attachment allows fast, tool-free disc replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce heat buildup on soft metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides consistent cutting performance throughout the disc’s usable life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for fabrication, automotive, maintenance, and metalworking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMachines Used On:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie Grinders and hand-held pneumatic grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-Ferrous Materials – Aluminum, Zinc, Copper, Tin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Materials – Fiberglass, Plastic, Hard Rubber, Wood, Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrinding and blending aluminum welds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishing fillet welds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeburring cut or machined edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving surface imperfections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlending scratches and tool marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoothing cast aluminum components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing surfaces for paint, coating, or polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishing brass, bronze, copper, and other non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry use ONLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSafety Tips \u0026amp; Techniques:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct requires a 3” Type R quick change backing pad to be used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways wear proper PPE to include (but not limited to) safety glasses, hearing protection, respirator, and hand protection.
