Flap Disc Norton Clipper X-Treme R860 125 mm P60 22 mm bore FLD FDTF

The Norton Clipper X-Treme R860 flap disc is a 125 mm abrasive disc with P60 grit and a 22 mm centre bore, designed for surface grinding, blending and deburring on metal and welded joints. Its lamellar flap construction delivers even stock removal and a consistent finish across flat and contoured surfaces. The disc is intended for use with angle grinders in metal fabrication, repair and maintenance environments where controlled material removal and surface preparation are required.

Advantages

The flap disc combines multiple overlapping abrasive flaps to provide progressive wear and sustained cutting performance, reducing the need for frequent disc changes. Its P60 abrasive grit balances cutting speed and surface finish, offering effective metal removal while still achieving a workable surface for subsequent finishing steps. The 22 mm centre bore ensures compatibility with a wide range of angle grinders fitted with appropriate adaptors or backing pads.

Suitable for

• Grinding and shaping of mild and stainless steel components
• Deburring edges and removing sharp burrs from cut metal
• Blending and smoothing weld seams and surface imperfections
• Scale and rust removal in preparation for painting or coating

When it may not be suitable

This flap disc is not intended for use on non-metal materials where specific abrasives are recommended, such as wood or plastic, as performance and durability will differ. It is also not suitable for precision finishing tasks that require very fine grits; P60 is a medium-coarse grit optimized for stock removal rather than mirror finishes.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Abrasive grit: P60 (medium-coarse)
• Centre bore diameter: 22 mm
• Disc type: lamellar flap construction for blended cutting and finishing
• Primary application: metal grinding, deburring, weld blending

How to use

Fit the flap disc to an angle grinder using the correct backing flange and any required adaptor for a 22 mm bore. Operate the grinder at the manufacturer’s recommended speed and apply light, even pressure while moving the disc across the workpiece to avoid gouging. Maintain a consistent angle between disc and surface; for general grinding a shallow angle increases cutting action while a shallower, flatter angle improves blending. Replace the disc when abrasive performance diminishes or damage is visible.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your angle grinder accepts a 22 mm bore or that you have the correct adaptor or backing flange.
• Confirm that P60 grit matches your required balance of material removal and surface finish.
• Verify the disc diameter (125 mm) fits your grinder’s guard and speed rating.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety goggles, gloves and hearing protection. Secure the workpiece and allow the tool to reach full speed before contact. Avoid excessive pressure and side-loading to prolong disc life and maintain safe operation.
