Part of the Big Cat series, this disc uses zirconia alumina abrasive on a cloth backing with a phenolic backing plate, delivering consistent cut rate and long service life under heavy use. It runs at a maximum of 12,000 RPM and carries an 80 grit medium grade, making it well suited for weld removal and surface preparation tasks. The 5\/8-11 threaded arbor hole mounts directly to standard angle grinders. At 0.4 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable handled daily by fabricators and metal finishing tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis disc is designed for use on steel and stainless steel in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and field metal work. Typical applications include weld seam removal, scale removal, and surface conditioning before coating or inspection. The Type 27 flat profile keeps the disc close to the workpiece surface, which suits flat and slightly contoured stock. It fits 4.5-inch angle grinders with a 5\/8-11 spindle, the most common configuration in professional metal trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZirconia alumina abrasive grain for fast cut rate and extended disc life on metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 27 flat profile optimized for flat surface grinding and weld removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 threaded arbor hole fits standard angle grinder spindles without an adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhenolic backing plate provides rigid support and stability at speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80 grit medium grade balances stock removal with surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 12,000 RPM for use on full-size 4.5-inch angle grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 4.5-inch angle grinders equipped with a 5\/8-11 threaded spindle.
