Dirty Flap Disc: Dealing with Contaminated Abrasives
Dirty flap discs are the primary focus. A dirty flap disc can impair any processes related to grinding and polishing. In this page, the origins of dirt on flap discs are examined, the consequences of a dirty disc are analyzed, and cleaning or replacing a disc are discussed. This enables users to take care of their abrasive tools and the quality of their work.
Suitable for grinding, polishing, and deburring on metals (steel, aluminum), wood, and composite materials, making it a multi-purpose tool for various industrial and DIY applications.
It is defined a worn out edge disk sander as one without any further abrasive material, meaning that there is no more sandpaper left for contouring and detailing. The definition applies to any smooth flap disc or any other tool-set flagging disk sander. It is unreasonable for a disk to wear out only after a single use, therefore a rational bulk use approach applies where a number of duplicates are produced in a batch so they can be kept in reserve. In the end the outline and finish of the work is taken care of by an ordinary edge and contour sanders.
