FINISHING
Flap discs create paint-ready surfaces
With a higher ergonomic angle of approach, the new Type 29 flap disc allows for a fast removal rate best suited for heavy-duty applications such as blending contours, edge work and other finishing applications. Maximize productivity and save a valuable step in your finishing process thanks to the Enduro-Flex Turbo dual-grit 36/60, which removes material quickly and leaves a paint-ready finish. It’s made from premium self-sharpening ceramic grain and minimizes heat transfer to the surface, which increases the disc life. By funneling in air, it keeps the workpiece cooler, reduces discolorations and improves disc durability.
