OVERVIEW

Smooth Finishing with the PFERD 120 Grit Workhorse

When you need to take a rough weld down to a smooth, paint-ready finish, the PFERD 60630 POLIFAN Flap Disc is your go-to abrasive. Designed for the professional welder and fabricator, this 4-1/2 inch disc combines the aggressive bite of Zirconia with the fine finishing capabilities of 120 grit. It’s the perfect tool for that final step in your grinding process, allowing you to blend surfaces seamlessly without leaving deep scratches or swirl marks. If you are tired of flap discs that wear out after just a few minutes of grinding, upgrading to PFERD's premium Zirconia line will change the way you work.

The Type 29 conical shape is a favorite among pipe welders and fabricators because it allows for better access to tight corners and contours. Unlike flat discs, the angled profile lets you attack the work surface more naturally, making it easier to blend fillet welds or grind on curved surfaces. The 120 grit is specifically chosen for finishing work—it cleans up the rough marks left by coarser grinding wheels and leaves a surface that looks professional and clean. Because it is rated for both Steel and Stainless Steel, you don't have to worry about cross-contamination or switching discs when moving between different projects in the shop.

Comfort is key during long shifts, and PFERD has engineered this disc to run smoothly. The specialized flap arrangement offers a "cushioned" feel, which means less vibration traveling up your arms and less chatter on the metal. This smoother operation gives you better control, resulting in a higher quality finish with less effort. The disc features a durable backing pad that holds up under pressure but wears away cleanly as you use the flaps. Whether you are polishing a custom railing, finishing a stainless steel tank, or just cleaning up a repair job, this PFERD flap disc gives you the reliability and performance you need to get the job done right the first time.

FAQ

Type 27 discs are flat and best for blending on flat surfaces at lower angles (0-15 degrees). Type 29 discs, like this PFERD model, are conical (angled) and are better suited for contour work, edge grinding, and more aggressive stock removal at angles between 15 and 25 degrees.

While Zirconia is tough, 120 grit is a fine abrasive intended for finishing, blending, and smoothing. For heavy stock removal or grinding down large welds, it is recommended to start with a coarser grit like 40 or 60 and then switch to 120 for the final finish.

Yes, this PFERD flap disc is formulated for use on both Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX). It is designed to cut cool and is free of contaminants that would cause corrosion on stainless materials.

No, this flap disc comes with an integrated fiberglass backing plate. You simply mount it directly to your angle grinder using the standard flange nut or locking nut.

The maximum operating speed is typically 13,300 RPM, which is standard for 4-1/2 inch abrasive accessories. Always check the label on the actual disc to confirm safety ratings before use.

Zirconia Alumina is a tougher, self-sharpening grain that lasts significantly longer than standard Aluminum Oxide. It withstands higher heat and pressure, making it more economical for professional metalworking applications.

The specific arrangement of the flaps allows for slight compression during use. This absorbs some of the vibration, resulting in a softer feel, reduced operator fatigue, and a more consistent finish without gouging the metal.

Yes, as long as your grinder is a 4-1/2 inch model with a standard 5/8"-11 spindle, this disc with a 7/8" unthreaded arbor hole will fit using the grinder's locking flange nut.
