Professional Metal Finishing Solutions
Waters Industrial provides premium abrasive flap discs engineered for superior metal finishing performance. With over 50 years of metalworking expertise, we offer professional-grade flap discs designed for demanding industrial applications.
What is a Flap Disc?
A Flap Disc is an attached abrasive disc that comes together as multiple flaps, or layers, of abrasive material. The layers of sandpaper-like abrasive material make flap discs useful for labor intensive applications.
When to use a Flap Disc?
A flap disc can be used in similar scenarios to when a standard abrasive sanding disc is used. The benefit of the flap disc comes in the layering of abrasive material, allowing for an “auto-swap” of the worn-out abrasive layer.
