RCD FLAP DISC
Grind and finish stainless steel in one simple step.
The RCD disc is a unique flap disc that serves as both a machining and finishing disc. Use the Cibo RCD disc to grind down weld seams and create a flawless finish in a single pass.
Three tasks in one
In the past, a skilled grinder needed at least three passes to get a good finish. Now, with Cibo’s patented tool, even an inexperienced user can get the job done in
a single step.
It takes just one operation to grind off an RVS weld seam and create a flawless finish.
Save on
time
, save on
costs
– and get a better
finish! Are you ready to make savings on time and labour, without compromising your perfect finish?
Cibo has the solution for you: our revolutionary patented RCD disc!
Current three-disc method
Risks of the current three-disc method
Your corners can end up too rounded; you’re grinding facets.
If you keep grinding for too long, you produce heat.
But if you try and work too fast, and opt for an overly coarse grit, you risk grinding off too much of your stock.
Then you have to call in an expert to try to correct or match the geometry – and end up taking extra time.
Summary: the current approach demands experience and a lot of skill to get a good result.
The solution
With the RCD disc, you don’t just grind off the RVS weld seam in a single operation; you also get a clean finish. The two complementary abrasives work together for a superb result, and all it takes is a single pass.
Suitable for:
Metal
Stainless steel
High-quality
alloys
Non-ferrous metals
Aluminium
Advantages of RCD
Controlled stock removal: you
don't create
pits
or remove too much material.
Forgiving disc: the soft contact and controlled removal
eliminate
any risk of
damage.
Uniform finish: this translates into a
low,
consistent
Ra value.
Lower heat production:
no discolouration
on the workpiece.
Huge time savings:
just one operation instead of three
means a lower cost price.
Versatile:
stainless steel
or
aluminium,
woodwork
or
metal chassis... there’s an RCD for every type of material.
Environmentally friendly:
the unique composition means less loss and less waste.
Use the RCD for:
- Finishing light weld seams
- Finishing corners and toothing
- Improving surface
roughness
- Refining coarse sanding lines
- Breaking sharp edges
- Light deburring
- Removing scoring
- Grinding down casting defects
- Homogenising surfaces
- Pre-polishing
- Removing weld spatter

Tips & Tricks
Grind from
front to back
with a brushing motion, rather than across the seam.
Grind at an angle of
30 degrees, rather than 45 degrees.
Reduce the speed from 10,000 rpm to
3,000 rpm
for best results!

RCD grinding discs
Heavy grinding and finishing
at the same time?
Yes, it's possible!
With RCD Extra and Ultra Coarse you are holding onto a
very aggressive
disc thanks to the ceramic cloth, while the surface conditioning between the ceramic flaps limits the grinding depth. The dampening function of the surface conditioning flaps guarantees a greater amount of
control
during grinding.
With these extra
aggressive
RCDs you can grind away all heavy welds
in one go
and finish them seamlessly at the same time. These discs are the perfect discs for
aluminium, but can also be used on
steel and stainless steel.
