PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can I use the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F on?
Great question! You can use this flap disc on a variety of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and carbon steel—perfect for tasks like weld removal and surface preparation.
-
What is special about the "Cubitron™ 3" technology in this flap disc?
That’s a fantastic inquiry! The Cubitron™ 3 technology uses precision-shaped ceramic grain engineered by 3M to cut faster and last longer than conventional discs. It helps you work more efficiently with less effort!
-
Is the Quick Change feature easy to use?
Absolutely! The Quick Change design lets you swap out discs quickly by hand without any additional tools, which saves time and keeps your workflow smooth.
-
Does this flap disc fit my standard angle grinder?
You bet! This Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc comes with a convenient built-in threaded hub (5/8"-11) that makes it compatible with most standard right-angle grinders using that arbor size.
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 combines the hallmark benefits of flap discs—such as superior conformability and user-friendly operation—with advanced features that minimize the risk of gouging, even during 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 designed to continually fracture into sharp, fresh cutting edges, allowing the disc to slice cleanly through metal rather than simply plowing through the material. This self-sharpening action ensures a consistently high cut-rate and extends the disc’s usable life far beyond that of conventional abrasives.
Constructed with a robust polyester backing, the 1169F flap disc is particularly well-suited for use on carbon steel. It excels in medium to high-pressure applications, such as beveling, weld grinding, deburring, and working on edges and contours. In fact, when compared to previous generations, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F 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, making it a top performer in its class.
Beyond its impressive cutting power, the 1169F flap disc leaves a refined finish, making it an excellent choice for blending and surface preparation tasks. Its ability to deliver both aggressive material removal and a smooth finish in a single step can help streamline workflows and reduce the need for multiple abrasive products.
Key Applications- Weld grinding
- Light grinding
- Beveling
- Deburring
- Blending
- Finishing
- Surface preparation
- Scale removal
- Weld spatter removal
- Working on edges and contours
In many scenarios, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F enables users to both grind and finish in a single step, eliminating the need to switch between different 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 combine steps and reduce disc change-outs can lead to significant time savings and increased productivity.
