Part of the Big Cat series, it features an 80-grit zirconia alumina abrasive on a cloth backing bonded to a phenolic hub, delivering consistent cut rate and long disc life under heavy use. The 4.5-inch diameter disc mounts via a 7\/8-inch arbor hole and is rated to a maximum of 12,000 RPM. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this disc for weld grinding, blending, and surface preparation work where a medium-grade, durable abrasive is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis disc is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, pipe work, and maintenance welding environments where weld removal and pre-paint surface preparation are routine tasks. The Type 27 flat profile keeps the disc parallel to the work surface, making it effective for flat stock, plate, and tube profiles. Rated applications include work on mild steel and stainless steel. The cloth backing provides flexibility during edge blending while the zirconia alumina grain self-sharpens during use, maintaining cut rate as the disc wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZirconia alumina abrasive grain self-sharpens for sustained cut rate on steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 27 flat profile optimized for flat surface grinding and weld removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80 grit medium grade balances material removal speed with surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCloth backing adds flexibility for blending and contouring work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhenolic backing plate provides rigid support and consistent disc geometry at speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12,000 RPM maximum speed rating compatible with standard 4.5-inch angle grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on mild steel and stainless steel with 4.5-inch angle grinders accepting a 7\/8-inch arbor.

Confirm the grinder free speed does not exceed the 12,000 RPM disc rating before mounting. Inspect the disc for cracks or damage before each use and replace if any defects are found. Always install and operate the grinder with the manufacturer-specified guard in place, and wear appropriate PPE including a face shield and hearing protection during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Hole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlap Disc Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 27\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zirconia Alumina\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phenolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Big Cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Arbor Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WEILER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 96243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WEILER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542915121458,"sku":"96243","price":22.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/032afd8198e83955534813022323cea5.jpg?v=1785910816","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/weiler-96243-flap-disc-80-grit-4-5-inch-type-27-zirconia-alumina","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
