OVERVIEW

Hog Material Faster, Change Discs Less

When you have a stack of parts to grind or a long heavy weld seam to level, you don't want to be walking back to the tool crib every ten minutes for a fresh disc. That is where the Pferd 60625 Polifan SG Zirkon-Extra shines. This isn't your bargain-bin flap disc; it is a heavy-duty workhorse designed for welders who need to move metal fast and keep moving. With a coarse 36 grit, this disc is built for aggressive stock removal—it bites into the metal and rips through weld beads, mill scale, and heavy rust with ease.

The secret sauce here is the Zirconia Alumina grain. Unlike standard grinding wheels that just rub and generate heat, this Zirconia grain stays sharp. It fractures as you grind, constantly exposing fresh cutting edges. This means the disc cuts cool and fast, reducing the risk of heat discoloration on your stainless steel projects. Whether you are working on mild carbon steel or stainless, this disc handles the pressure without bogging down or glazing over. It is the kind of reliability you need when the clock is ticking on a fabrication job.

Pferd calls this the "SG Zirkon-Extra" because they packed it with about 40% more cloth and grain than their standard discs. For you, that means this disc lasts nearly twice as long as the cheaper alternatives. The Type 29 conical shape is angled just right, so when you hold your grinder at a natural angle, you get maximum contact with the work surface. This is perfect for digging into fillets, beveling edges for weld prep, or smoothing out a cap pass. The 7/8-inch arbor fits your standard 4-1/2 inch grinder without any fuss.

Stop wasting time changing out burnt-up discs. The Pferd 60625 gives you the aggression you need for heavy grinding and the longevity to finish the shift. It runs smooth, vibrates less than a hard rock, and leaves a finish that is often good enough to skip a sanding step. If you are serious about your grind, this is the disc to keep in your bag.

FAQ

Type 27 discs are flat and are best used for blending and finishing on flat surfaces at lower angles (0-15 degrees). Type 29 discs, like this Pferd 60625, are conical (angled) and are designed for more aggressive stock removal and contour work at steeper angles (15-25 degrees).

While Zirconia Alumina can cut aluminum, it is not the optimal choice as the soft metal may clog (load) the flap disc quickly. For aluminum, specialized discs with coatings to prevent loading are recommended. However, for occasional use, it will work if used with a lubricant or wax.

'SG' stands for Pferd's Performance Line (Special Grade), indicating a step up from their standard PSF line. 'Zirkon' refers to the Zirconia grain, and 'Extra' signifies that the disc is packed with approximately 40% more material for a longer service life.

No, this flap disc comes with a rigid fiberglass backing plate integrated into the design. You mount it directly to your angle grinder using the grinder's retaining nut or flange.

The maximum safe operating speed for the Pferd 60625 (4-1/2 inch) is 13,300 RPM. Always ensure your angle grinder does not exceed this speed rating.

36 grit is considered coarse. It is designed for heavy stock removal, such as grinding down welds or removing heavy rust. It will leave a rougher finish compared to 60, 80, or 120 grit discs.

This disc is optimized for use on Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX). The Zirconia grain is tough enough to handle these hard metals efficiently without premature wear.

Flap discs generally cut cooler, vibrate less, and leave a smoother finish than hard grinding wheels (rocks). They grind and blend in a single step, whereas a grinding wheel is primarily for hogging material and leaves a very rough surface.
