The 80+ grit gives you a fantastic balance between fast material removal and a smooth finish — perfect for many metalworking tasks.
-
Will this disc fit my angle grinder?
If your angle grinder has a compatible size (4-1/2 inches with a 7/8 inch arbor), it will fit perfectly!
-
How does Cubitron™ 3 technology help me?
Our Cubitron™ 3 discs feature precision-shaped ceramic grain that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional abrasives—helping you work efficiently while reducing fatigue.
-
Is this flap disc suitable for both heavy stock removal and fine finishing work?
Yes! With its high-performance abrasive grains and durable construction, it handles both stock removal and blending applications beautifully.
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and longevity, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a versatile and reliable abrasive disc. This premium flap disc is designed to offer all the benefits you expect from a high-quality flap disc, such as outstanding conformability and user-friendly operation, while minimizing the risk of gouging your workpiece. Its advanced construction ensures consistent results, even in demanding applications.
At the heart of the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is the innovative 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, now enhanced with a unique curved sides design. This proprietary grain is engineered to continually fracture into sharp, fresh cutting edges, allowing the disc to slice cleanly through metal rather than simply plowing through it like traditional abrasives. The result is a disc that maintains a high cut-rate and delivers a remarkably long service life.
Built on a robust polyester backing, the 1169F flap disc is especially effective on carbon steel and is capable of withstanding medium to high-pressure applications. In fact, it removes up to 49% more total material compared to the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Flap Disc 969F 40+ grade, and up to 66% more than the 3M™ Flap Disc 769F 40+ grade. This superior material removal rate translates to increased productivity and efficiency in your operations.
Beyond its impressive cutting power, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F leaves a refined finish, making it an excellent choice for blending and surface preparation tasks. Its ability to conform to edges and contours ensures a smooth, even result, even on complex geometries.
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, the finish produced by the 1169F is one grade finer than that of a fiber disc of the same grade. While fiber discs may offer a faster initial cut, the flap disc’s ability to streamline your workflow by reducing steps and disc change-outs can help you save valuable time and effort.
