OVERVIEW

Unleash Aggressive Cutting Power with Pferd POLIFAN

Take your metal fabrication to the next level with the Pferd 63031 POLIFAN® Flap Disc. When you are staring down a long day of grinding stainless steel welds, you need an abrasive that works as hard as you do. This 5-inch, 40-grit flap disc is built to bite. It features a robust Zirconia Alumina grain that slices through tough materials with ease, allowing you to remove stock faster and finish jobs sooner. Whether you are smoothing out a heavy weld bead or chamfering a rough edge, the aggressive 40 grit texture gets the job done without hesitation.

One of the biggest challenges when grinding stainless steel is managing heat. Overheating the metal can cause ugly discoloration that is a pain to remove and can even weaken the finished product. Pferd has solved this with their specialized cool-grinding technology. This disc is formulated to cut cool, protecting your workpiece from heat tint and preserving the integrity of the stainless steel. The Type 29 conical shape is another pro-favorite feature; the slight angle provides better leverage and access to tight contours, giving you superior control over the grinding process compared to flat discs.

Durability is where the Pferd brand truly shines. The POLIFAN series is designed for longevity, meaning fewer disc changes and more time making sparks. The flaps wear down evenly, exposing fresh abrasive grain right down to the backing, so you get 100% usage out of every disc you buy. Compatible with your standard 5-inch angle grinder, this disc is a versatile addition to any welder's arsenal. Don't settle for slow cutting or burnt metal—upgrade to Pferd and experience the difference in speed, finish, and overall value.

FAQ

Type 27 discs are flat and best for blending and finishing on flat surfaces. Type 29 discs, like this Pferd model, are conical (angled), which makes them better suited for aggressive stock removal and contour work.

Yes, Zirconia Alumina works well on mild steel, but this specific disc is optimized with fillers for Stainless Steel to prevent heat buildup. Using it on mild steel is effective but may not utilize its cool-grinding benefits fully.

40 grit indicates a coarse abrasive texture. It is designed for heavy material removal, such as grinding down large weld beads, rather than fine finishing or polishing.

This disc has a 7/8-inch arbor, which is the standard size for most 4.5-inch and 5-inch angle grinders.

Zirconia Alumina is tougher and more durable than standard aluminum oxide. It is self-sharpening and withstands the high pressure required to grind hard materials like stainless steel effectively.

No, flap discs have a built-in backing plate (usually fiberglass or plastic) and mount directly to the angle grinder without an additional backing pad.

While specific ratings can vary, standard 5-inch flap discs are typically rated for approximately 12,200 RPM. Always check the label on the disc itself for the exact safety limit.
