OVERVIEW

Achieve a Superior Finish with Pferd POLIFAN

For welders and fabricators who demand precision and comfort, the Pferd 63033 POLIFAN Flap Disc delivers exceptional results. Grinding stainless steel can often be a challenge due to heat buildup and material hardening, but this disc is designed to run cool and cut freely. The 80 grit abrasive is perfect for that stage of the job where you need to smooth out a weld bead or prepare a surface for painting without gouging the metal. It offers a softer touch than coarser grits, giving you total control over the final appearance of your work.

The Type 29 conical shape is a favorite among professionals because of its ergonomics. Unlike flat discs, the angled profile allows you to hold the grinder at a more natural position (typically 15 to 25 degrees) while maximizing contact with the metal. This is particularly useful when working on edges or curved surfaces where a flat disc might dig in. The flaps are arranged to cushion the grinding action, reducing vibration and operator fatigue during extended use. You will feel the difference in how smoothly the disc glides over the workpiece, reducing the need for rework.

Pferd has built a reputation for quality, and this "Value" line disc ensures you get professional-grade performance at a competitive price point. Whether you are cleaning up TIG welds on stainless tubing or smoothing out mild steel fabrication, the zirconia alumina grain stays sharp longer than standard aluminum oxide discs. The integrated backing plate means you can mount it directly to your 5-inch grinder without needing extra hardware. Upgrade your abrasive arsenal with a disc that works as hard as you do.

Key Features for Fabricators

  • Cool Cutting: Specialized coating prevents heat discoloration on stainless steel.
  • Ergonomic Design: Conical shape reduces wrist strain and improves access to tight spots.
  • Consistent Finish: 80 grit provides a uniform surface ideal for secondary finishing steps.
  • Long Life: Layered flap construction ensures you get the most out of every disc.

FAQ

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

While it can physically grind aluminum, this disc is optimized for stainless steel and steel. Grinding aluminum with standard zirconia discs can lead to 'loading' (clogging) of the flap. A disc specifically designed for non-ferrous metals is recommended for aluminum.

No, this Pferd POLIFAN flap disc comes with an integrated backing plate. It mounts directly to your angle grinder using the standard locking nut or flange.

80 grit is considered an intermediate to fine grade. It is used for light stock removal, blending, and smoothing out surfaces after a coarser grit (like 40 or 60) has been used, or for single-step finishing on lighter welds.

Yes, this disc is generally suitable for stainless steel (INOX) as it is designed to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorinated fillers that cause contamination and rust, making it safe for use on stainless steel intended for various applications.

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

Flap discs grind and finish in one step, run cooler, and vibrate less than solid grinding wheels. They are generally more forgiving and leave a smoother finish, whereas grinding wheels are faster for very heavy stock removal but leave a rougher surface.
