KLINGSPOR, with the widest array of available types, the KLINGSPOR flap disc line is the most extensive available to the markettoday. In addition to the variety of disc choices, our flap discs offer unparalleled performance. This is due to experience that hasgrown over decades, and due to the use of only the best in raw materials during the manufacturing process. Our evolving SMT flapdisc program remains as your best possible method for grinding, blending, and finishing offering the most cost-effective solution forincreasing productivity. Flap discs offer more aggressive grinding, longer service life, and shorter set-up times. Efficient formultitudes of operations, KLINGSPOR Flap Discs will be one of your most-used abrasive tools.

KLINGSPOR Flap Disc OptionsSeveral different designs offer the user ways to enhance both the performance of the disc and the final results left on the workpiece.Choose from shapes in flat, 6 degree convex shape, or 12 degree convexshape.

So what are the strengths of the convex discs versus the flat discs?Over 90% of the flap discs sold by KLINGSPOR have the convex form.For grinding weld seams, for instance, the convex discs noticeablyoutperform the flat discs. But when flat surfaces are to be leveled, theflat discs outperform the convex discs.

KLINGSPOR is the true innovator of the flap disc.The true innovator of the flap disc design, continues to be at the forefront in developing new types of these versatile discs.

KLINGSPOR Flap Disc Benefits vs. Grinding Disc

1) Flap discs health and safety advantages:a) Have less vibration level, which results in increased

operator stamina and comfort.

b) Makes less noise, which results in greater safety in theshop environment and greater operator comfort.

c) Make less sparks, which enhances operator safety andcomfort level.

2) Flap discs overall performance advantages:a) Has a higher stock removal - results in less work time

spent on each piece.

b) Has more consistent stock removal due to constant cut-ting speed. Which results in more regulated end resultson workpieces.

c) Have a longer life time and much less down time forchanging worn out discs.

3) Flap discs application advantages:a) Offer a better finish and does not leave scratches as

deep as hard grinding wheels.

b) Universal in use for different applications - one tool andone abrasive for numerous jobs.

c) Different shapes give more options and provides theability to match the abrasive to shape of work piece.

d) Gives less damage to the work piece - merely impossi-ble to gouge the workpiece.

4) Flap disc is the better product in price to performancecomparisons

KLINGSPOR Flap Disc Benefitsvs. Fibre Disc1) Flap disc offers at least 20 times longer life

a) Fewer disc changesovers equals less downtime.You not onlyget longer life per disc, you also can cut down on the number ofgrits required for the job. (I.E. ordinarily if you use a 24 or 36 gritfiber disc to bump off a weld and a 40 grit to polish, you canuse ONLY the 40 grit and it will both bump and polish the weld.)

b) Longer service life for greater cost savings. You have topurchase fewer flap discs to do the same amount of work. Thatmeans less paperwork, fewer freight charges etc as well as thecost savings on the disc itself.

2) No other backing pad needed a) Flap disc offers a built-in consumable backing plate – no hunting

back up plates that have been removed from grinder. Flapdiscs are self contained and ready to be mounted out of thebox.

b) No workpiece marring. Since the need for a backing plate nolonger exists, the only thing that could touch the workpiece isthe flap disc itself and it’s consumable. No need to worryabout inexperienced workers accidently damaging your prod-uct.

3) More consistent finishesFlap discs have self sharpening qualities. By continually exposingfresh grit while the grinding is in process, the consistency of thescratch is maintained and your finish is enhanced.

The abrasive mop disc SMT 624 is the result of consistent developmentwork. This SMT is an abrasive tool with improved ergonomics.Through the optimised convexity the SMT 624 is particularly suitablefor deburring, chamfering and grinding of edges. The advancedabrasive guarantees a noticeably higher stock removal efficiency andhigh amounts of stock removed per unit of time. The SMT 624 is anabrasive tool for professional applications with an excellent price / performance ratio. Product advantages at a glance:

• convex disc form for better ergonomics• optimised abrasive for high stock removal

efficiency and considerably longer service life• very good price / performance ratio

The 627 makes use of aluminum oxide grains on the flaps.This makes a flap disc that has more uses in applicationsinvolving paint and nonferrous metals. The 12° angle of thedisc allows use on both contoured parts and flat parts. Notfor use on titanium.

KLINGSPOR is pleased to offer the most efficientand most innovative flap disc ever - the CMT.This is a quick-change version of our indus-try-leading flap discs. The concept is atremendous breakthrough for the metalgrinding and finishing community.Production shops will greatly benefitwith even less downtime and anincrease in productivity.

How does it work? Simply affix the die-cast backing plate to your angle grinderusing a standard locking nut and leave itthere. Then the CMT "loadings" are locked intoplace with a quick turn of the wrist. No tools arenecessary to accomplish the task, which only takes sec-onds. When a new grinding surface is needed or when grits need to be changed, twist the CMT off and put a

new one on. No more fumbling with the grinder’s lockingnut each time - twist on, twist off.

The CMT also offers an extremely safe operating environment. The fiber-reinforced

plastic on the back of the CMT guarantees maximum stability with anapproved operating speed of 12,200max. rpm.

If you have resisted using flap discsin the past for whatever reason,KLINGSPOR’s CMT quick-changeflap disc will make you a believer.Discover the ease of use that the

CMT has to offer and gain the advan-tages that this system can bring to your

manufacturing process.
