Gator 9708 Type 29 Flap Disc 4 in 80 Grit Zirconium Oxide

Product Description

The GATOR 9708 is a Type 29 zirconium oxide flap disc designed for aggressive material removal on angle grinders. It measures 4 inches in diameter with a 5/8-inch arbor bore and carries an 80-grit abrasive rating, placing it in the medium-coarse range suited for blending, grinding, and stock removal on metal surfaces. The conical Type 29 profile presents the abrasive at an optimum grinding angle, keeping more of the disc face in contact with the workpiece. According to the manufacturer, this disc removes material approximately three times faster than a standard fiber resin disc and lasts approximately fifteen times longer under comparable use conditions.

This flap disc is intended for use with standard angle grinders equipped with a 5/8-inch spindle. It is well suited for weld removal, surface preparation, deburring, and edge blending on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Fabricators, ironworkers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics commonly use this disc type for general metalworking tasks in both shop and field environments. The 80-grit zirconium oxide construction handles both light finishing passes and moderate stock removal without frequent disc changes.

Key Features

• Type 29 conical profile provides an optimum grinding angle for maximum disc-to-surface contact
• Zirconium oxide abrasive grain for high material removal rate and extended disc life
• 80-grit rating suited for weld blending, surface prep, and deburring
• 4-inch diameter with 5/8-inch arbor fits most standard angle grinders
• Single-unit packaging with a minimum order quantity of one disc

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders accepting a 4-inch, 5/8-inch arbor flap disc. Consult your grinder manufacturer specifications to confirm maximum RPM rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Flap disc installation and use should be performed by operators familiar with angle grinder safety practices. Always disconnect or power down the grinder before mounting or removing a disc. Verify the grinder's rated maximum RPM meets or exceeds the disc's rated speed before operation, and inspect the disc for damage prior to each use. Eye protection, gloves, and appropriate face shielding are standard personal protective equipment for grinding operations.
