Frequently Asked Questions

What are flap discs best used for?

Flap discs excel at grinding, deburring, and finishing metalwork. They're particularly effective for blending welds, removing rust and paint, and preparing surfaces for coating. Their flexible design conforms to contoured surfaces better than rigid grinding discs.

How long do Stanley flap discs last?

Lifespan depends on application and material, but Stanley flap discs are engineered for extended use. Their layered construction means they continue cutting as outer flaps wear away, typically outlasting standard grinding discs on finishing operations.

What grit should I choose for my project?

Use 40-60 grit for heavy stock removal and weld grinding, 80 grit for general-purpose grinding and rust removal, and 120 grit for fine finishing and surface blending. Always start with a coarser grit and progress to finer grits for best results.
