OVERVIEW

Superior Control and Finish for Professional Welders

Elevate your welding preparation and finishing with the Pferd 63032 POLIFAN Flap Disc. Known among professional welders for their "bite" and consistency, Pferd abrasives are built to perform under pressure. This 5-inch flap disc with a 7/8-inch arbor is the perfect companion for your high-powered angle grinder, specifically tailored for working with stainless steel. Whether you are knocking down TIG welds or blending MIG beads on stainless pipe, this disc provides the smooth, controlled feel that skilled fabricators demand.

The 60 Grit Advantage

Choosing the right grit is essential for workflow efficiency. The 60 grit abrasive on this disc is the workhorse of the metal shop. It is aggressive enough to grind down weld reinforcement quickly but fine enough to avoid leaving deep, jagged scratches that are difficult to remove later. This makes it an excellent single-step solution for many applications or a perfect intermediate step before moving to finer conditioning discs. The consistent scratch pattern helps you achieve a professional-looking finish in less time.

Why Choose Type 29?

The Type 29 conical profile is designed for the way you naturally hold a grinder. The slight angle of the flaps allows you to attack the metal more aggressively when needed, making it ideal for edge grinding and contouring. Unlike flat discs that require you to flatten your angle significantly, the Type 29 shape lets you work comfortably at a 15-25 degree angle, reducing fatigue during long grinding sessions. This shape is particularly useful for getting into tighter curves or smoothing out fillet welds.

Cool Cutting Action

Stainless steel is notorious for heat buildup, which can ruin the corrosion resistance and appearance of your weldment. The Pferd 63032 is engineered with specialized fillers and a bonding agent that promotes cool cutting. This reduces the risk of heat tinting and warping on thinner materials. When you need a flap disc that respects the metallurgy of your project while delivering serious material removal, the Pferd POLIFAN series is the trusted choice for welders who take pride in their craft.

FAQ

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

Yes, while it is optimized for stainless steel (SS), it can also be used effectively on mild steel. However, using a disc made for stainless on mild steel is generally acceptable, but you should never use a disc previously used on mild steel on stainless to avoid cross-contamination and rust issues.

60 grit is a medium-coarse abrasive texture. It is an excellent all-purpose grit that offers a balance between aggressive material removal (like grinding down a weld) and leaving a relatively smooth finish that can be easily blended.

Always check the label on the actual disc for the specific safety rating. Generally, 5-inch flap discs are rated for approximately 12,200 to 13,300 RPM, but you must ensure your angle grinder does not exceed the maximum RPM marked on the product.

No, this Pferd POLIFAN flap disc comes with an integrated backing plate (usually fiberglass or plastic) and is designed to mount directly to the angle grinder using the standard flange nut or locking nut.

While it can grind aluminum, standard flap discs may load up (clog) quickly with soft metals like aluminum. For aluminum, it is recommended to use a flap disc specifically designed with a coating to prevent loading, or use a lubricant like wax.

This disc features a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole, which is the industry standard for most 4.5-inch, 5-inch, and larger angle grinders.
