OVERVIEW

Grind Corners and Fillets Faster

Stop struggling to reach into tight corners with standard flat discs. The PFERD POLIFAN®-CURVE 5-inch flap disc is a game-changer for welders working on structural steel, tank fabrication, and general metalwork involving fillet welds. Its patented curved design wraps around the edge of the backing plate, allowing you to grind deep into the throat of the weld with the radius of the disc.

This 40-grit Zirconia powerhouse eats through metal quickly, making it ideal for heavy stock removal and weld blending. The "Large" profile is designed for wider fillet welds (over 5/16 inch), providing a smooth, consistent finish without gouging the base metal. Because the flaps are arranged radially, you get 100% utilization of the abrasive material, meaning fewer disc changes and more arc time. Whether you are working on mild steel or stainless, the POLIFAN-CURVE helps you achieve a professional finish in record time.

Why Choose POLIFAN-CURVE?

  • Speed: Removes weld metal faster than traditional grinding wheels in corners.
  • Finish: Leaves a smooth finish that often requires no secondary blending.
  • Longevity: The unique shape prevents premature edge wear, lasting longer than standard flap discs.
  • Comfort: Runs smoother with less vibration than hard grinding rocks.

FAQ

The M (Medium) size is designed for fillet weld throat thicknesses greater than 3/16" (5mm), while the L (Large) size, like this 45234 model, is optimized for larger fillet welds with throat thicknesses greater than 5/16" (8mm).

While Zirconia Alumina can grind aluminum, it is primarily designed for steel and stainless steel. For aluminum, specialized discs with coatings to prevent loading are generally recommended, though this disc can be used for short durations if loading is managed.

This disc fits standard 5-inch angle grinders with a 7/8-inch arbor. Ensure your grinder's guard can accommodate the radial shape and height of the disc.

The POLIFAN-CURVE is a unique radial shape that doesn't strictly fall into standard Type 27 (flat) or Type 29 (conical) categories, but it functions similarly to a Type 29 by offering aggressive cutting, with the added benefit of the curved edge for fillets.

While a hard grinding wheel may last longer in pure time, the POLIFAN-CURVE removes material much faster and leaves a superior finish, often eliminating secondary steps. In fillet applications, it outlasts standard flap discs significantly.

The maximum operating speed is 12,200 RPM.

No, the POLIFAN-CURVE comes with an integrated backing plate (fiberglass or plastic) and mounts directly to the grinder using the standard flange nut or quick-change nut.
