Flap Disc Norton Clipper QUANTUM PREMIUM R996, convex

Flap disc Norton Clipper QUANTUM PREMIUM R996, convex, is an abrasive flap disc designed for metal grinding and finishing with angle grinders. The convex shape and overlapping abrasive flaps deliver steady stock removal and uniform surface blending. This flap disc is intended for tasks such as weld removal, rust and paint preparation, deburring and edge smoothing in metalworking and fabrication environments.

Advantages

The QUANTUM PREMIUM R996 convex flap disc offers consistent cutting performance and a balance between aggressive material removal and surface finish. Its layered abrasive flaps renew the cutting surface as they wear, maintaining grinding efficiency over the life of the disc. The convex profile improves access to curved or contoured surfaces while providing controlled contact with the workpiece for smoother transitions. The construction is suitable for use with standard angle grinders used in industrial and workshop settings.

Suitable for

• Weld removal and grinding of weld seams
• Rust and old paint preparation on metal surfaces
• Deburring and edge rounding on fabricated parts
• Blending and finishing after cutting or welding

Key specifications

• Disc type: convex flap disc with overlapping abrasive flaps
• Intended use: metal grinding and surface finishing
• Tool compatibility: angle grinders
• Primary tasks: stock removal, blending, deburring, surface preparation
• Typical workpieces: steel and other ferrous metals, fabricated metal parts

How to use

Mount the flap disc securely on a compatible angle grinder according to the grinder manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the disc size and bore match the tool. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection. Start the grinder and engage the workpiece with light, even pressure, moving the disc across the surface to achieve the desired removal or finish. Allow the abrasive flaps to wear gradually; avoid excessive pressure or side loading that could reduce disc life or affect the finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select a disc size and grit grade suitable for the task: coarser grits for rapid stock removal and weld grinding, finer grits for blending and finishing. Maintain steady movement to avoid gouging and inspect the disc periodically for wear or damage. Store discs in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and moisture.
