Gator 9703 Type 29 Flap Disc 4 in 5/8 in 36 Grit Angle Grinder

Product Description

The GATOR 9703 is a Type 29 zirconium oxide flap disc designed for aggressive material removal on angle grinders. Measuring 4 inches in diameter with a 5/8-inch arbor bore and a 36-grit abrasive surface, it is built for heavy stock removal on metal, weld seams, and fabricated surfaces. The Type 29 conical profile presents the abrasive at an optimum grinding angle, allowing full face contact with the workpiece. Fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and welders use this disc when rapid removal and longevity matter on the job. It removes material three times faster than fiber resin discs and lasts fifteen times longer, reducing disc changes during extended work sessions.

This disc is suited for metal fabrication, structural steel preparation, weld blending, and surface conditioning in both shop and field environments. The 36-grit rating makes it appropriate for coarse stock removal rather than finishing passes. It mounts to standard angle grinders with a 5/8-inch spindle. Single-disc unit packaging makes it easy to stock individually or in bulk for job site use. Professionals in welding, pipe fitting, and general metal fabrication will find it a reliable consumable for daily grinding tasks.
