Specifications Breakdown

• Flap Disc: An abrasive disc made of overlapping flaps of coated abrasive material (like sandpaper) glued to a backing plate (fiberglass, plastic, or aluminum). It combines the aggressive material removal of a grinding wheel with the finishing characteristics of a sanding disc.
• 4.5″ (4-1/2″): This is the diameter of the disc, which is the standard size for most small to medium-sized angle grinders.
• P40 (or 40 Grit): This refers to the grit size of the abrasive material.
  • 40 grit is considered a coarse grit.
  • It is used for heavy-duty material removal and aggressive grinding.
  • It leaves a relatively rough finish.
