Gator 9713 Flap Disc 4.5 in 36 Grit Type 29 Angle Grinder

Product Description

The GATOR 9713 is a Type 29 zirconium oxide flap disc designed for aggressive material removal on angle grinders. At 4.5 inches in diameter with a 0.875-inch arbor hole, this 36-grit disc fits standard angle grinders used in metal fabrication, welding prep, and surface conditioning work. The Type 29 conical profile presents the abrasive surface at an optimum grinding angle, allowing full disc contact across the flap surface. Zirconium oxide grain is a self-sharpening abrasive that maintains cut rate through the life of the disc, making it well suited for high-volume stock removal on steel, stainless, and similar hard metals.

This disc is intended for use with standard angle grinders in industrial, fabrication, and construction environments. The 36-grit designation targets heavy stock removal and weld blending rather than finish work. It is a practical choice for ironworkers, pipefitters, welders, and general contractors who run angle grinders as part of daily workflow. The disc ships as an individual unit, making it easy to stock in quantity or purchase as a single replacement.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders accepting a 4.5-inch disc with a 0.875-inch arbor bore, which is a common configuration across most standard angle grinder models.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified operators familiar with angle grinder safety practices. Inspect the disc for damage before mounting and confirm the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the disc's maximum rated speed. Secure the arbor nut with the appropriate spanner wrench and ensure the guard is properly positioned before powering on. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, a face shield, and gloves when operating angle grinders with abrasive discs.
