Ceramic Flap Discs and Blending Discs Take on the Toughest Metals
Weiler Abrasives, a leading producer of abrasives and power brushes for surface conditioning, has announced new Tiger® 3D MAX Ceramic flap discs and blending discs built for maximum material removal, durability, and consistency. This expansion of the 3D MAX lineup brings advanced precision-shaped grain technology to a wider range of grinding applications.
“Our 3D MAX technology is built to let the grain do the work,” said Michael Zulauf, Product Manager, Weiler Abrasives. “By maximizing the cut rate and reducing the effort required by the operator, we are helping our customers improve efficiency and consistency and reduce fatigue, all while cutting down on costly disc changeovers.”
Engineered to maximize efficiency and throughput, Tiger 3D MAX products feature 3D precision-shaped grain that helps operators remove more material in less time. The grain stands upright and micro-fractures to stay sharp, which delivers a high cut rate. The design also optimizes grain retention, extends product life, and helps operations get more value from every disc.
Tiger 3D MAX Ceramic flap discs are designed for maximum metal removal while maintaining control across a wide range of grinding and finishing applications. The flap discs are available in 4.5-inch and 7-inch sizes, with 7/8 open arbor and 5/8-11 hub options.
Tiger 3D MAX Ceramic blending discs help operators blend welds faster, reduce rework, and maintain consistent results in surface refinement applications. The blending discs are available in both Type S and Type R style connections for quick mounting and fast disc changes.
The Tiger 3D MAX portfolio, which also includes resin fiber discs, addresses common pain points in operations where downtime and labor costs are critical. Key features and benefits include:
- Exceptional material removal: 3D precision-shaped grain maximizes cut rates, enabling up to 30% faster material removal than standard ceramic grain.
- Longer disc life: Optimized grain retention extends product life and reduces changeovers.
- Cooler grinding: A specialized top coat reduces heat buildup and glazing, which helps protect high-value parts from discoloration and damage.
- Reduced operator fatigue: Micro-fracturing grain technology lets the grains do the work, reducing the required operator pressure and making demanding grinding jobs easier.
- Contaminant-free formula: Both disc types are contaminant-free, making them safe for use on stainless steel and aluminum.
