Empire Abrasives is now offering an innovative rounded edged flap disc for filet welds and grinding corners.

Islandia, New York -- December 20, 2022 -- Online retailer, Empire Abrasives, is now offering a specialty flap disc that is designed to grind corners and hard-to-reach areas and offer a better option for cleaning filet welds.

Traditional flap discs can only grind a surface using the flat face of the abrasive, which makes it tough for reaching tight spots and corners. To solve this problem and offer a single product that can grind flat surfaces and corners/filet welds, a new curved flap disc was developed.

This curved flap disc increases the surface area of the grinding material, by wrapping the abrasive flaps around the edge of the discs. This increased grinding area makes it so a single disc can be used to clean and grind a weld on a flat surface and then press into a tight corner to grind those hard-to-reach areas.

The discs are available in multiple sizes to fit a 4.5” angle grinder or die grinders. The 2 inch rounded edge flap discs and 3 inch rounded edge flap discs are able to connect/disconnect to a die grinder quickly with a roloc attachment.
