PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can I use the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F on?
This flap disc is perfect for grinding and finishing a variety of metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and even more challenging alloys. It’s engineered to deliver fast cutting action while offering smooth results!
-
How long does the Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc last compared to regular flap discs?
Great question! Thanks to our advanced precision-shaped grain technology, the Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc lasts significantly longer than conventional ceramic or aluminum oxide discs—so you’ll save time on changeouts and get more work done per disc.
-
Is this flap disc easy to use with standard angle grinders?
Absolutely! The T29 conical shape and 4-1/2 inch size with a 7/8 inch arbor make it compatible with most common angle grinders. Plus, its design helps you achieve excellent contact and control during grinding or blending jobs.
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and longevity, making it an ideal choice for demanding metalworking applications. This advanced flap disc combines the hallmark benefits of flap discs—such as flexibility, ease of use, and reduced risk of gouging—with innovative features that set it apart in the industry. Designed with a robust polyester backing and the latest generation of 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, now enhanced with a unique curved sides design, this disc offers superior durability and cutting efficiency on carbon steel and other metals.
Compared to previous models, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F demonstrates remarkable productivity gains. It removes up to 49% more material than the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Flap Disc 969F 40+ grade and up to 66% more than the 3M™ Flap Disc 769F 40+ grade. This makes it particularly well-suited for medium to high-pressure tasks, including beveling, weld grinding, deburring, and working on challenging edges and contours. The disc also produces a refined finish, making it an excellent choice for blending and surface preparation tasks.
At the heart of the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is the proprietary 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology. This innovative abrasive grain is engineered to continually fracture into sharp, precise points that slice cleanly through metal, rather than plowing through the substrate like conventional abrasives. This self-sharpening action ensures the disc maintains a high cut-rate and extended lifespan, reducing the need for frequent disc changes and maximizing productivity.
Key Applications- Weld grinding
- Light grinding
- Beveling
- Deburring
- Blending
- Finishing
- Surface preparation
- Scale removal
- Weld spatter removal
- Working on edges and contours
In many situations, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F allows you to both grind and finish in a single step, eliminating the need to switch abrasives. Under typical conditions, this flap disc produces a finish that is one grade finer than a fiber disc of the same grade. While fiber discs may offer a faster initial cut, the 1169F flap disc can streamline your workflow by reducing the number of steps and disc change-outs, ultimately saving you valuable time and effort.
