OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Grinding with Pferd POLIFAN PSF ZIRKON-EXTRA

Maximize your grinding efficiency with the Pferd 60635 POLIFAN PSF ZIRKON-EXTRA Flap Disc. Designed for professional welders and fabricators who demand reliability and longevity, this 5-inch abrasive disc is built to last. The secret lies in its high-density configuration; Pferd has packed this disc with 40% more material than their standard counterparts. For the end-user, this means significantly more grinding time per disc, reduced downtime spent swapping out worn consumables, and ultimately, a lower cost per weld.

The 60 grit Zirconia Alumina abrasive is a workhorse in the metal shop. Zirconia is tougher and sharper than standard aluminum oxide, allowing it to fracture and self-sharpen as it works. This self-sharpening action ensures that the disc continues to cut aggressively throughout its life, rather than glazing over and generating excess heat. This is particularly critical when working with stainless steel, where heat buildup can lead to discoloration and warping. The Type 29 conical shape further enhances performance by allowing the operator to apply more pressure for heavy stock removal without gouging the workpiece.

Compatible with standard 5-inch angle grinders featuring a 7/8-inch arbor, the Pferd 60635 is a versatile addition to any tool crib. Its robust construction handles the high torque and speed of industrial grinders, providing a stable and smooth grinding experience. Whether you are grinding down heavy fillet welds or prepping surfaces for painting, the consistent finish and aggressive bite of this flap disc make it a top choice for demanding fabrication environments.

Why Choose Pferd PSF ZIRKON-EXTRA?

  • Extended Life: The high-density flap design offers superior longevity compared to standard density discs.
  • Aggressive Cut: Zirconia grain cuts faster and cooler, speeding up production times.
  • Versatility: Suitable for use on both ferrous metals and stainless steel, reducing the need to stock multiple disc types.
  • Operator Comfort: The cushioned grinding effect of the flaps reduces vibration and noise compared to rigid grinding wheels.

FAQ

Type 29 discs are conical (angled), making them better for aggressive stock removal and contour work. Type 27 discs are flat, making them better for blending and finishing on flat surfaces.

This disc is designed for use on Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX). It uses Zirconia Alumina grain which is effective on these hard metals.

The 'EXTRA' designation indicates that this disc is part of Pferd's high-density line, containing approximately 40% more abrasive material than standard discs for longer service life.

While you should always check the disc label, standard 5-inch flap discs typically have a maximum rating around 12,200 RPM.

No, this flap disc comes with an integrated fiberglass backing plate and mounts directly to the angle grinder using the standard flange nut.

60 grit is considered a medium-coarse grit. It is excellent for general grinding, weld blending, and stock removal, leaving a smoother finish than 36 or 40 grit.

While it can grind aluminum, Zirconia discs may load up (clog) faster on soft metals. Discs specifically designed for aluminum with special coatings are recommended for extensive aluminum work.

This disc has a standard 7/8-inch unthreaded arbor hole, compatible with most 4.5-inch and 5-inch angle grinders.
