The Standard Abrasives Quick Change Surface Conditioning FE Disc saves time preparing workpieces for final finishes and coatings by performing one-step prep work. A reliable choice for edgework, some of its best uses include deburring and blending. FE material is an outstanding performer for flats and edgework when high contact pressure and stock removal are required.

  • High edge durability and flexibility
  • Designed for blending and deburring on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and high nickel/chrome alloys
  • Aluminum oxide on FE material provides high initial and extended cut rate
  • Most efficient on ferrous materials when high contact pressure and stock removal are required
  • Open web responds to surface irregularities and minimizes gouging of the part
  • Easy fastening and swapping of quick change discs enhances tool efficiency and worker productivity

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the Standard Abrasives™ Quick Change Surface Conditioning FE Disc, 840431?

    The Standard Abrasives™ Quick Change Surface Conditioning FE Disc, 840431 is a coated abrasive disc designed for metalworking applications.

  2. What does "A/O Coarse" mean?

    "A/O Coarse" means that the disc has an aluminum oxide coating with coarse grit size. This makes it suitable for removing heavy rust and scale from metal surfaces.

  3. What is TSM?

    TSM stands for "Threaded Shaft Mount." This type of mounting system allows the discs to be easily attached to and removed from compatible tools such as die grinders or air-powered orbital sanders.

  4. How many discs come in a box of Brown, 3 in, 25 per inner, and 250 per case?

    Each box includes 10 inners containing 25 Brown, 3 inch diameter discs each (totaling up to approximately about) . That means you'll receive a total of approximately about)250 quick change surface conditioning FE discs per case

  5. Is there anything special we need to do when using these kind of abrasives?

    It's essential always to follow standard safety practices when working with any power tool accessories like abrasives. When using Standard Abrasives™ products, make sure you wear proper personal protective equipment like safety glasses and respiratory protection.

  6. Regularly inspect your equipment before use; please ensure its integrity prior usage are unbroken apart not allowing too much ware down on particular end making them unstable while using.

    while performing maintenance procedures on your tools between jobs can also help keep things running efficiently if noticeable diminishing results founds checking device parameters or changing product grades may increase output significantly

FE Construction Suits Edge Work, High Contact Pressure and Stock Removal

The Standard Abrasives™ Quick Change Surface Conditioning FE Disc is designed to provide high initial and extended rates of cut while maintaining edge durability. This disc is engineered with a more compact structure of non-woven fibers than Buff & Blend products. It is constructed of resin-reinforced, non-woven fiber, making it aggressive yet minimizing under-cutting or gouging of the workpiece. The FE disc performs the best on edges within the Standard Abrasives™ line of surface conditioning discs.

Standard Abrasives™ FE Surface Conditioning Discs are made of a tough but flexible nylon mesh that fits any contoured surface. The FE material is designed with a woven fabric (scrim) embedded in the nylon structure to provide additional strength and durability. This helps extend the life of the disc and allows for prolonged use on ferrous materials or steel. This is the best surface conditioning material to use when high contact pressure and stock removal are required, and when loading is not a concern.

Recommended Applications

Choose a Standard Abrasives™ Surface Conditioning Disc for use on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and high nickel/chrome alloys to perform:

  • Deburring: removing large and micro burrs, edge radiusing, removing die cast flashings
  • Blending: removing mill marks, tool marks and mismatches; reducing uneven edges between adjoining surfaces; reorienting surface scratch patterns; creating a smooth transition from one surface profile to another
The Outstanding Performance of Surface Conditioning Material

Surface conditioning products have a non-woven construction in which fiber strands, resin, and abrasive mineral form a thick, open web or mesh. The spring-like nature of the fibers responds to contours and effectively removes unwanted burrs, soils and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece, which in turn reduces rework and boosts productivity. Gaps in the web allow heat and swarf to escape, prolonging the performance of the abrasive. Fibers in the web continually break down with use to reveal fresh mineral for exceptional consistency, superior cut performance and extremely long service life.

Aluminum Oxide Suits Ferrous Metals and Composites

The fibers that make up this disc are overlaid with aluminum oxide abrasive. Aluminum oxide discs are a good match for operators who desire an all-purpose versatility and economy. The mineral cuts fast while blending and deburring and is a good choice for applications on ferrous metals and composites. FE discs feature a premium grain with higher fracture strength, meaning the mineral will fragment and renew more readily. They are available in coarse (brown), medium (maroon), and very fine (blue) grits.

Quick Change Discs Boost Productivity

Quick change discs allow tool-free swap outs, maintain secure attachment at high speeds, and save operators time when switching discs between grades or applications. Easy fastening and swapping of discs enhances tool efficiency and worker productivity. The TP system features a snap-on/snap-off nylon fastening hub. TR discs have a nylon threaded male hub that easily threads onto TR or 3M™ Roloc™ type holder pads with a turn of the wrist, and the TS system has a metal hub that fastens to its holder pad with a simple twist.

Standard Abrasives™ Quick Change FE Discs are available with TP, TR and TS attachments in disc diameters up to 4˝. Discs with 4-1/2˝ to 7˝ diameters have a TS 5/8-11 threaded hub that easily mounts to a TS 5/8-11 holder pad. It is recommend using these discs together with a Standard Abrasives™ Quick Change Holder Pad to ensure optimal disc performance and to ensure that pressure is applied evenly all the way to the edge of the disc.
