Gator 9706 Type 29 Flap Disc 4x5/8 in 60-grit Zirconia

Product Description

The GATOR 9706 is a Type 29 zirconium oxide flap disc engineered for aggressive material removal on angle grinders. Measuring 4 inches in diameter with a 5/8-inch arbor bore and loaded with 60-grit abrasive, this disc is built for trades professionals who need to cut down welds, deburr plate steel, or prep metal surfaces fast. The conical Type 29 profile presents the abrasive at an optimum grinding angle, keeping more of the disc face in contact with the workpiece throughout the cut. Rated for use with standard angle grinders, the 9706 is a go-to consumable for fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and general metalwork contractors.

This flap disc fits into any workflow that calls for rapid stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The Type 29 geometry is particularly suited to flat and contoured surface work where a flat Type 27 disc would lose contact angle. Typical applications include weld blending, rust removal, and edge grinding on structural steel, pipe, and sheet metal. Sold individually, the 9706 is a practical single-unit option for job-site replenishment or bench stocking.

Installation Notes

Flap disc installation and replacement should be performed by qualified personnel following applicable ANSI B7.1 safety standards for abrasive wheels.
