Weldfast Zirconium Flap Disc – 115mm – 40 Grit (WLD00183)

Description

Genuine Weldfast · Part no. WLD00183

Weldfast WLD00183 is a 115mm zirconium oxide flap disc in 40 grit for an angle grinder, made to work on most metals including stainless steel. The coarse grade is for fast work: grinding welds flush, cleaning castings and shaping steel, and it meets the European safety standard EN 13743.

Good to know

• Can I use it on stainless steel? Yes, it is listed for most metals including stainless; use a disc kept for stainless only, so it isn't contaminated with ordinary steel.
• Is 40 grit the right place to start? For welds and heavy work yes; flap disc grits commonly run from P40 for heavy removal through P60 and P80 to P120 for a finer finish.
• How do I get a flat result? Keep the disc almost flat with a slight tilt and sweep it across the weld rather than holding it still.
• Is the guard needed? Yes. Fit a flap disc only with the grinder's guard in place, and check the speed marked on the disc is at or above the grinder's.

Which one?

The Flexovit Zirconium Flap Discs – 115mm – P40 (63642517997) is another coarse 115mm disc; when the weld is flush, move to a finer grade such as the Flexovit P80 (63642517999). To cut metal rather than grind it, see the Van Line Abracs Proflex Extra Thin Flat Cutting Disc 100 x 1.0 x 16mm (WCP106).
