FLAP DISCS

Choose the ideal flap disc!


Whereas in the past a single type of disc was used to work all types of materials and workpieces, Cibo now offers a product range of specific flap discs with very distinct properties.

Industrial - Inox

Best efficiency at low pressure

The Industrial stainless steel flap disc is the perfect entry-level disc for working stainless steel. Thanks to the specially developed flexible linen, this disc achieves high efficiency immediately and even at lower pressure.

In combination with the high-quality 100% zirconium grit, the Industrial inox disc ensures the best efficiency with low pressure and less powerful 750-watt machines.

Much longer lifespan

The Industrial flap disc for steel uses the same high-quality abrasive grain as the stainless steel variant but has a slightly stiffer poly-cotton backing. This backing was specially developed for flap discs, resulting in a lifetime almost twice as long compared to a classic flap disc.

The poly-cotton carrier performs best at slightly higher pressure and ensures a constant wear pattern. The result is constant machining from start to finish.

3x longer lifespan

Our Industrial flap disc has been specially developed for efficient machining of aluminium and other soft alloys. Thanks to the use of high-quality zirconium linen combined with a stearate coating, the disc is effectively prevented from clogging - a common problem in aluminium machining.

The stearate coating prevents aluminium from adhering to the disc, keeping the abrasive grains active for longer. As a result, the disc maintains its abrasive capacity and a consistent finish is guaranteed, even during prolonged use.

The versatile all-rounder

The Performance flap disc is one of the most versatile discs in the world. Thanks to its ceramic abrasive grit, any metal can be worked on in record time. This disc combines the aggressiveness and durability of the Ultimate line with the ease of use of the Industrial line.

It makes the Performance disc the dream all-rounder for top performance. The ceramic top coating makes this disc much cooler to sand. This extends the lifetime and prevents sticking to softer materials.

Specially made for inner corner grinding
The flaps in an extended flap disc are placed in such a way that they ‘extend’ onto the carrier more than in a standard flap disc. The main benefit of this type of disc is that seam in a corner profile. The position of the flaps eliminates the risk of damage because direct contact between the carrier and the workpiece is avoided.

The extended flap disc is the ideal option for heavy machining in an inside corner

Frequently asked questions - FAQ

What is a flap disc and what is it used for?

A flap disc is a disc with overlapping flaps of abrasive material, ideal for grinding, sanding and finishing metal, wood and plastic surfaces.

Which flap disc do I need for metal?

For metal, a flap disc with zirconium or ceramic alumina is usually used. These are wear-resistant and suitable for heavy-duty work such as removing rust or finishing welds.

What is the difference between a flap disc and a grinding disc?

A flap disc has overlapping flaps and lasts longer than a regular grinding disc. Additionally, a flap disc grinds more efficiently thanks to the continuous exposure of fresh abrasive material.

How do I choose the right grit size for my flap disc?

Use a coarse grit (P40–P60) for aggressive material removal, and a finer grit (P80–P120) for a smooth finish. The choice depends on the material and the desired surface finish.

What are the advantages of a zirconium flap disc?

Zirconium flap discs stay sharp during use and are well-suited for working on hard metals such as stainless steel or steel.

How to work safely with flap discs?

Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, and gloves. Make sure the flap disc is securely attached, and run it briefly at idle speed first to check for imbalance.
