Performance

The performance of Roloc Flexible Diamond Disc can vary based on several factors, including the disc's quality, grit size, the material being worked on, the type of equipment used, operator skill, and the specific application. However, here are some general performance characteristics associated with these discs:

  1. Material Removal Rate: Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs are designed for efficient material removal from metal surfaces. They can quickly remove burrs, weld splatter, scale, rust, and other surface imperfections. The material removal rate depends on factors such as the grit size and the disc's quality.

  2. Consistency: These discs provide consistent performance, which is important for achieving uniform results across a workpiece. The abrasive material is evenly distributed across the disc's surface.

  3. Versatility: Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs are versatile and can handle a wide range of applications, from heavy material removal to finer finishing and polishing. They are suitable for use on various metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and more.

  4. Longevity: The lifespan of these discs can vary depending on factors like the disc's quality, the hardness of the metal being worked on, and the operator's technique. Proper care and maintenance, such as keeping the disc clean and avoiding excessive pressure, can extend its life.

  5. Surface Finish: The choice of grit size plays a significant role in determining the surface finish. Coarser grits are used for aggressive material removal, while finer grits are used for achieving smoother and more polished surfaces.

  6. Edge Control: RRoloc Flexible Diamond Discs offer good edge control, allowing operators to work on specific areas with precision. This is valuable for tasks like edge radiusing and weld seam blending.

  7. Efficiency: When used correctly, these discs are efficient and can save time compared to traditional abrasive tools. Their quick attachment and removal system (e.g., Roloc system) also contribute to increased efficiency.

  8. Safety: Proper use and handling of these discs are essential for safety. Following safety guidelines, using the appropriate personal protective equipment, and ensuring that the tool operates at the correct RPM are critical for safe performance.

  9. Compatibility: Ensure that the Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs are compatible with the equipment you plan to use. They are typically designed for use with rotary tools, angle grinders, and similar equipment.

Grit Range

The grit size of diamond discs determines their level of coarseness or fineness, with lower numbers representing coarser grits and higher numbers representing finer grits. The choice of grit size depends on the specific application and the desired surface finish. Common grit sizes for Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs include:

  1. 30 grit

  2. 50 grit

  3. 100 grit

  4. 200 grit

  5. 400 grit

  6. 800 grit

  7. 1500 grit

  8. 3000 grit

Please note that these are typical grit sizes, and you may find variations or additional options depending on the manufacturer. The selection of the appropriate grit size should align with your specific metalworking or surface preparation task, whether it involves aggressive material removal or fine finishing.

Application

The Roloc Flexible Diamond Disc is a specialized abrasive tool designed for various metalworking and surface preparation applications. It is known for its versatility and efficiency in a range of tasks. Here are some common applications for the Roloc Flexible Diamond Disc:

  1. Deburring: These discs are often used for deburring metal parts. They can remove sharp edges, burrs, and other irregularities left after machining processes.

  2. Grinding: Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs are used for grinding metal surfaces. They can effectively remove material, shape parts, and prepare surfaces for further finishing or coating.

  3. Blending and Smoothing: They are ideal for blending and smoothing welds and metal surfaces. Whether it's weld seam blending or blending rough metal surfaces, these discs can provide a consistent finish.

  4. Surface Preparation: Prior to painting, coating, or welding, these discs can be used to prepare metal surfaces by removing rust, corrosion, scale, and old coatings. This ensures better adhesion and a cleaner surface for subsequent processes.

  5. Edge Radiusing: Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs are useful for rounding or radiusing sharp edges on metal parts, making them safer to handle and improving their appearance.

  6. Light Stock Removal: In applications where only a small amount of material needs to be removed, these discs are efficient and can save time compared to traditional abrasive wheels.

  7. Metal Polishing: While they are primarily designed for material removal, finer grit versions of these discs can be used for polishing and achieving a smooth, reflective surface on metal.

  8. Cleaning and Restoration: They are suitable for cleaning and restoring metal surfaces on automotive parts, machinery, and more. They can remove surface contaminants and restore the metal's appearance.

  9. Maintenance and Repair: Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs are valuable in maintenance and repair work, whether it's removing damaged areas, preparing surfaces for welding, or restoring worn parts.

  10. Aerospace and Automotive Industry: These discs find extensive use in the aerospace and automotive industries for various metalworking tasks, including deburring, blending, and surface preparation.

It's important to choose the appropriate grit size and disc type (coarse or fine) based on the specific application and the level of material removal or surface finish required. Additionally, operators should follow safety guidelines, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and use the correct RPM (revolutions per minute) on the tool to ensure safe and effective use of Roloc Flexible Diamond Discs.

FAQ

Q: What are the advantages of a flap wheel?

Advantages. The advantages of a flapwheel over a traditional disk are twofold: The separate flaps each attack the workpiece surface at a slightly different angle, and this varies slightly with tool angle. This avoids the common problem with flat sheets, where they produce repeated identical scratches.

Q: What is the difference between flap wheel and grinding wheel?

Flap discs are ideal for grinding, blending, finishing, and polishing surfaces, as well as removing rust, paint, and weld seams. Grinding discs are typically used for heavy-duty material removal, such as removing large welds, and shaping and smoothing metal edges.

Q: What is the best flap disc for grinding welds?

Flap discs are good for removing heavy weld seams and excess material while providing a long service life: For general use, the recommendation is a 60-grit ceramic flap disc. For greater speed and stock removal, a Type 29 conical is the best choice.

Q: What is a flap disc grinding wheel used for?

A flap disc is an abrasive product used to contour and shape metal. It consists of overlapping abrasive flaps glued to a backing plate and is regularly used for welding, machining, heavy-duty equipment work, and industrial maintenance. Common applications include: Cleaning flash from molds and castings.

Q: What is the best grit for flap discs?

Deburring and deflashing: 60 grit abrasive grain is ideal for deburring and deflashing work. Rust removal and blending: Abrasive grit in the more expansive range from 60 to 80 is optimal for finer work like rust removal and blending.

Q: Which grit flap disc would leave the smoothest finish on metal?

For finishing and sanding metal, a 120-grit flap disc could be your best option. Flat head flap discs best suit the purpose of finishing metal.

Q: What is the best flap wheel for stainless steel?

Designed for both mild and stainless steel, flap wheels made from zirconia (or zirconium) abrasive ribbon (blue / green in colour) are ideal for use on most metals including stainless steel. Other flap discs on the market made from using aluminium oxide abrasive ribbon are not suitable for use on stainless steel.

Q: Can you put a flap disc on a bench grinder?

Unmounted large flap wheels can conform to most shapes and are especially effective on pipes, tubes and other cylindrical items and are designed to be used on a bench grinder, pedestal grinder, or straight finishing tool with a 1 inch arbor.
