Weiler 51179 Tiger Paw Flap Disc 6 in 40 Grit

Product Description

The WEILER 51179 is a Tiger Paw Type 29 coated abrasive flap disc designed for aggressive stock removal and surface blending on metal. The Type 29 conical geometry angles the abrasive cloth toward the workpiece, increasing contact area and cutting efficiency compared to a flat Type 27 disc. At 40 grit, it delivers fast cutting action suited for weld removal, rust elimination, and heavy deburring. The 5/8 inch-11 hub arbor fits standard right-angle grinders. Fabricators, welders, and metal finishing tradespeople are the primary users of this disc.

This flap disc is used in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, and maintenance applications where material needs to be removed quickly before finishing. The Type 29 angle makes it particularly effective on flat surfaces and contoured workpieces. At 6 inches in diameter and 40 grit, it is suited for heavy prep work on mild steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals prior to coating or inspection.

Installation Notes
