Dewalt DW8381 Type 29 Flap Disc 60 Grit 6 in

Product Description

The DEWALT DW8381 is a Type 29 angled flap disc designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. Built with zirconia alumina abrasive and a fiberglass backing, this 6-inch disc operates at a maximum of 10,100 RPM and delivers consistent cut rates through its 60-grit abrasive surface. The conical Type 29 profile increases surface contact on flat and contoured workpieces, making it well suited for blending, grinding, and finishing operations in fabrication and maintenance environments. Metalworkers, pipefitters, and welding professionals are the primary users of this disc.

The DW8381 is intended for use on steels and stainless steel. Its 7/8-inch arbor hole fits standard right-angle grinders commonly used in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, and field maintenance applications. The 60-grit rating positions this disc in the coarse range, making it appropriate for weld seam removal, surface prep, and edge blending where fast stock removal is the priority rather than fine finishing.

Installation Notes

Installation and disc changes must be performed with the grinder unplugged or the power source locked out. Verify that the grinder speed rating meets or exceeds the disc maximum of 10,100 RPM before mounting. Use the appropriate flange and locking nut specified by the grinder manufacturer, and inspect the disc for cracks or damage before each use. Always use the grinder guard in accordance with applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards.
