3M 7100104602 Flap Disc 5 Inch 60 Grit Right Angle

Product Description

The 3M 7100104602 is a Type 29 right-angle flap disc designed for medium to high-pressure metal grinding applications. Built with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain bonded to a durable polyester backing, this 5-inch, 60-grit disc delivers a fast, consistent cut across a variety of metals including steel and stainless. The angled flap configuration reduces operator fatigue and lowers the risk of gouging compared to fiber discs and bonded wheels. Licensed trades and fabricators reach for this disc when speed, finish quality, and disc life all matter on the same job.

This flap disc is suited for aggressive surface work in fabrication shops, field welding environments, and metal finishing operations. Primary applications include beveling, weld removal, and edge deburring on carbon steel, stainless steel, and similar ferrous metals. The 60-grit rating positions it for stock removal tasks where a smooth final finish is still required. It mounts to standard 5-inch right-angle grinders used daily by welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and metal fabricators.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain provides an exceptionally fast cut rate for high-productivity grinding
• Durable polyester backing withstands high unit pressure without delaminating
• Individual flaps break down progressively, exposing fresh abrasive mineral for a consistent cut throughout disc life
• Lower gouging risk compared to fiber discs and bonded abrasive wheels
• Suited for applications where surface finish quality matters alongside material removal rate
• Right-angle Type 29 geometry optimizes contact angle for flat and contoured work surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard 5-inch right-angle grinders accepting Type 29 flap discs in compatible arbor configurations.

Installation Notes

This disc is installed and replaced by welders, metal fabricators, and other trades using angle grinders. Always power down and unplug or lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a disc. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and never exceed the maximum RPM rating printed on the disc. Follow applicable ANSI B7.1 and OSHA 1910.215 guidelines for abrasive wheel safety.
