The disc measures 4-1\/2 inches in diameter with a 5\/8-11 threaded arbor hole for direct mounting on standard angle grinders. It uses zirconia alumina abrasive on a cloth backing at 60 grit, delivering coarse-grade stock removal suited to weld grinding and surface preparation work. Rated to 12,000 RPM, this disc is part of the WEILER Big Cat series and is built for the demands of fabrication and metalworking environments. It weighs 0.4 pounds. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WEILER 96246 is used on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces where weld beads must be blended or base metal needs to be cleaned and prepared before coating or further fabrication. Its Type 27 flat-profile geometry keeps the disc face flush to the work surface, making it well-suited for flat stock, welded joints on structural steel, and sheet metal surface conditioning. It attaches via threaded arbor hole to angle grinders commonly used in shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZirconia alumina abrasive provides durable, fast-cutting performance on steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 27 flat profile for flush grinding on flat and contoured surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 threaded arbor hole for direct mount on standard angle grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60 grit coarse grade rated for weld removal and aggressive surface preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCloth backing supports abrasive load during heavy stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12,000 RPM maximum speed rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 4-1\/2 inch angle grinders equipped with a 5\/8-11 threaded spindle.

Verify the grinder's rated free speed does not exceed the 12,000 RPM maximum before use. Always use the appropriate guard for the disc type and diameter as required by ANSI B7.1 and applicable workplace safety standards. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and do not use a disc that shows cracking, fraying, or other visible defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Hole Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11\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: 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coarse\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\u003eAttachment Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded Arbor Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weld Removal, Surface Preparation\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\u003eDisc Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 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: 96246\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WEILER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542926721330,"sku":"96246","price":19.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/516b31f194783d92d0fe564d487ed8a2.jpg?v=1785911217","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/weiler-96246-flap-disc-4-1-2-in-60-grit-type-27-zirconia","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
