OVERVIEW

Built to Last: The Heavy-Duty Flap Disc for Serious Fabrication

Every welder knows the frustration of a flap disc that gives up halfway through a job. The PFERD POLIFAN® PSF Z-EXTRA is built to solve exactly that problem. This isn't your average hardware store abrasive; it is a heavy-duty 4-1/2" disc packed with 40% more material than standard discs. That means you get a thicker, denser layer of flaps that keeps cutting long after other discs have worn down to the backing. For fabricators, this means fewer trips to the tool crib, fewer interruptions to swap out consumables, and more time spent actually making sparks. If you are grinding down heavy MIG welds or prepping thick plate, the 40 grit Zirconia grain bites hard and removes metal fast.

Versatility is key in a busy shop, and the PSF Z-EXTRA delivers. It is rated for both Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX), so you don't have to worry about cross-contamination or grabbing the wrong disc for the material. The Zirconia Alumina grain stays sharp and resists glazing, even when you are leaning into it. The Type 27 flat shape is perfect for blending surfaces and getting that smooth finish on flat runs. Plus, the fiberglass backing is tough—it won't smear or melt if you get it hot, ensuring your workpiece stays clean.

Whether you are running a high-amp industrial grinder or a smaller battery-powered unit, this disc performs. It is aggressive enough to hog out material but designed with a flap density that provides a smoother feel, reducing the vibration that leaves your hands numb at the end of the day. When you need a reliable workhorse that balances cost, life, and speed, the PFERD 60458 is the disc to keep in your box. It’s about getting the job done right and getting the most value out of every spark.

FAQ

The PSF-EXTRA line is constructed with approximately 40% more abrasive material than the standard PSF line, providing significantly longer service life and better economic efficiency.

While it is primarily designed for Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX), Zirconia can be used on aluminum, but it may load (clog) faster than discs specifically designed for non-ferrous metals. A dedicated aluminum disc is recommended for optimal results.

Type 27 refers to the shape of the disc. It is a flat-profile disc, best suited for grinding at lower angles (0-15 degrees) and is ideal for surface blending and smoothing.

Yes, this disc has a 4-1/2" diameter and a standard 7/8" arbor hole (unthreaded), making it compatible with most standard 4-1/2" angle grinders using a locking nut.

This is a 40 Grit disc, which is considered coarse. It is best used for heavy stock removal, grinding down large welds, and initial surface shaping.

No, the fiberglass backing is designed to wear down with the abrasive and will not melt, smear, or scratch the workpiece like some plastic backings might.

While the specific max RPM should always be checked on the disc label itself for safety, standard 4-1/2" flap discs are typically rated for around 13,300 RPM.

While high-power grinders achieve optimum results by fully fracturing the Zirconia grain, this specific disc is engineered to also work well with low-power angle grinders.
