They are anchored by using modern, high-technology machines that enable assuring the highest quality standards.

Mounting the tool on angled grinding machines allows trimming or polishing surfaces quickly.

Being light and no-deformable with limited thickness, they can even be used in situations where access is difficult.

Thanks to their grinding capacity and the quality of the surfaces obtained, flap discs can carry out the trimming work of grinding wheels and the polishing of fibre discs in a single operation.

Thanks, too, to their low noise level, combined with enduring performance, these products are finding increasingly widespread approval from users.

Mounting and removing as well as using them are extremely simple and easy.

All our articles are meticulously tested in order to ensure the utmost safety during use.

1) General features of the abrasive flap disc

1.1) Abrasive cloth

Abrasive cloth can be composed of two basic elements, according to its use:

1.2) Grit

Grit is identified by a number that varies from 36 to 120. 

• Grits 36 and 40: the disc with this grit is suitable for hard rough-shaping processing, it can quickly remove welding thickness and rapidly round off corners.

• Grits 50 and 60: in this case, the disc is able to carry out an average blunting, as well as grinding if you exert less pressure on the disc itself.

• Grits 80, 100 and 120: the disc with these grits is suitable for superficial finishing processing.

• Grits beyond 120: these grits are suitable for professional processing of precise finishing.

1.3) Support

We have two types of support:

• Fibre Glass: it allows the longest use of flaps, since during grinding or blunting the fibre glass can be consumed together with the end part of the flaps, that is up to the complete wearing out of the abrasive cloth. Thanks to its way of processing, it is obviously important that the machine should be equipped with an exhauster that sucks the fibre glass too to avoid that annoying dust caused by the wearing out of the disc.

• Nylon: since the support in nylon is stiffer than fibre glass, it works faster up to the wearing out of the abrasive; as a matter of fact the flap position and the high speed make grinding quicker and aggressive.

2) Categories of abrasive flap discs

There are different types of abrasive flap discs, but they can be classified as follows:

2.1) Inserted flap disc:

The inserted flap disc was the first one to have been produced more than 30 years ago.

The support is made of nylon with radial slits, into which flaps are inserted to be covered with resin. This process allows a large quantity of cloth to be inserted into the disc, assuring the longest lifetime.

The particular technique of production allows the flaps to rise a bit and with a soft and fast noiseless contact to adapt themselves to the surface to process making a valuable finishing.

This kind of structure gives the disc extreme flexibility, turning out to be particularly suitable to easily make finishing processing even on a bit shaped surfaces, because the disc can follow the surface it is working on.

According to its grit, the disc can make processing of grinding too, but for its structure it is more suitable for professional finishing processing.

2.2) Glued flap disc:

The glued flap disc can have a rather stiff fibre glass or nylon support which gives the disc itself its ability to work. Coated flaps are laid on the support and glued with special resins.

Its particular technique of production allows a remarkable and quick removal of stock.

The disc is particularly efficient in carpentry, when it is used with an aggressive cloth.

Flaps can be laid:

• flat (T27): the disc is more versatile to be used on flat surfaces;

• convex-inclined (T29): the disc is much more appreciated both by the operator who is used to hold the machine inclined towards the flat working surface and by the end-user who works on a little bent surface.

2.3) Double-flap disc:

Even though the double-flap disc seems to be a normal inserted flap disc, it has a stiff support both in nylon and in fibre glass. 

This feature allows the laying of the flaps by twos; in this way you can enjoy two important advantages:

• a better sliding down of metal dust during the processing;

• a larger ventilation and so less flap heating, to all advantage of the efficiency of the disc itself.

RACCOMANDAZIONI E SUGGERIMENTI PRATICI

I nostri dischi lamellari sono progettati e fabbricati in conformità alle normative europee EN 13743.

Prima dell’utilizzo

Controllare che il disco sia integro e non danneggiato.

Verificare sull’etichetta che il disco sia quello adatto all’impiego.

Controllare le caratteristiche della macchina (stato d’uso, potenza, velocità).

Leggere le istruzioni d’uso allegate al prodotto.

Indossare i dispositivi anti-infortunistici prescritti.

Controllare lo stato dei materiali da lavorare e accertarsi che il pezzo sia correttamente fissato.

Montare i dischi seguendo le istruzioni.

Durante l’utilizzo

Durante la lavorazione è consigliato effettuare movimenti oscillatori

e variare l’angolo di applicazione per sfruttare al massimo le caratteristiche del disco.

Durante la lavorazione è meglio effettuare pause per ridurre la formazione di polvere e per evitare il surriscaldamento del disco.

Utilizzare sempre i guanti e gli occhiali da lavoro.
