OVERVIEW

Cool Grinding for Stainless Steel Finishing

When you need to clean up a weld or blend a surface without digging into the base metal, the Pferd 43297 Polivlies Flap Disc is the tool for the job. This 4-1/2" x 7/8" disc combines the convenience of a standard flap disc with the finishing power of non-woven nylon material. Rated at 60 Grit, it serves as a coarse conditioning tool, perfect for taking down light scratches, cleaning up heat tint after welding, and prepping surfaces for a final polish. It fits right onto your everyday angle grinder, saving you from needing specialized finishing tools for many common tasks.

Why Choose Co-Cool?
Working with stainless steel often means battling heat. Overheating the metal can ruin the corrosion resistance and leave ugly blue or straw-colored heat marks. Pferd's Co-Cool technology solves this by using ceramic oxide grain paired with cooling agents directly in the abrasive bond. This keeps the workpiece cooler, preserving the integrity of the metal and saving you time on rework. It also works exceptionally well on aluminum, preventing the "loading" or clogging that often happens with standard abrasives.

Shop Floor Versatility
These discs are sold in a convenient pack of 5, ensuring you have stock for the week's projects. The flaps are flexible, allowing them to contour slightly to curved surfaces like pipes or tank corners. Because it is a flap disc construction, it offers a longer life compared to single-layer surface conditioning discs. Use the Pferd 43297 to transition from a rough grind to a paint-ready or satin finish in fewer steps. It is an essential addition to any fabricator's abrasive arsenal, specifically for those handling architectural metalwork or sanitary stainless welding.

FAQ

A regular flap disc uses coated abrasive cloth (sandpaper) for stock removal. This Polivlies disc uses a non-woven nylon mesh impregnated with abrasive, designed for surface conditioning, finishing, and blending rather than heavy grinding.

Co-Cool refers to Pferd's specialized abrasive formulation containing ceramic oxide and active cooling agents. This reduces heat buildup during grinding, preventing heat tint and discoloration on stainless steel.

No, this flap disc comes with an integrated fiberglass backing plate, so it mounts directly to your angle grinder without an additional backing pad.

It is optimized for stainless steel (INOX) and aluminum but works well on almost all metals where a cool cut and consistent finish are required.

This specific disc is 60 Grit (Coarse). In the context of non-woven materials, this is aggressive enough for cleaning and blending but leaves a finer finish than a 60 grit coated abrasive.

Always check the label on the disc, but generally, 4-1/2" Polivlies discs are rated for standard angle grinder speeds, typically around 13,300 RPM. However, using them at lower speeds often produces a better finish.

No, this disc is not designed for removing heavy weld beads. You should use a zirconia or ceramic grinding flap disc for removal, then use this Polivlies disc for blending and finishing.

These are sold in a box of 5 discs.
