Standard Abrasives™ Type 27 Cleaning Pro Disc, 811027, 4-1/2 in x 1/2 in x 7/8 in, Nylon, 5/Carton, 50 ea/Case

The weld ripples, spatter, and discoloration that occur during the process of fusing or joining metal parts are a natural outcome of a job well done. However, these blemishes may not be desired. That's where the Standard Abrasives Type 27 Cleaning Pro Disc comes in. This disc is specifically designed to take your hard work one step further by effectively removing unwanted surface contaminants that may result from welding or other applications.

The Standard Abrasives Type 27 Cleaning Pro Disc is made by combining silicon carbide mineral and non-woven nylon fibers using a resin bond. The addition of extra grain and resin reinforcement enhances the aggressiveness of the abrasive, preventing it from fraying on workpiece edges. Silicon carbide, as an abrasive mineral, breaks down faster than aluminum oxide. It is also coarser and harder, allowing for swift cutting action. These characteristics make it highly suitable for the rapid removal of surface contaminants. The abrasive is ideal for blending and cleaning welds, as well as removing corrosion, rust, scale, paints, varnishes, and sealants from the substrate. Furthermore, it produces a fine finish on the workpiece, which is a highly desirable feature.

The Standard Abrasives Type 27 Cleaning Pro Disc is made up of a spongy open web that is both buoyant and responsive. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to surface imperfections without causing any damage to the part. The disc's ability to react helps it move in, over, and around difficult-to-reach surfaces. The non-woven nylon fibers, which are resin reinforced, break down slowly. As the fibers break down, new abrasive mineral is exposed, ensuring a consistent cut part after part. Additionally, the gaps between the fibers allow swarf to escape, preventing debris from clogging the abrasive. This feature helps prolong the service life of the abrasive by preventing wear from loading.

Tips for Optimal Use

The Type 27 disc has a depressed center with a raised hub. It can be attached to a power tool using a sunken flange/lock nut and can be used with a random orbital sander or die grinder. The depressed design of the disc is particularly helpful for right angles and hard-to-reach areas. Some operators also find it advantageous for flat surfaces. It is important to follow the recommended operating speeds to ensure optimal performance and safety.

While welds, rust, and contaminants are a natural part of metal aging and metalwork, they do not have to hinder the achievement of a lasting luster. The Standard Abrasives Type 27 Cleaning Pro Disc is the solution for users who desire a final finish that truly shines.
