PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can I use the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F on?
Great question! The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F works wonderfully on metals like carbon steel, stainless steel, and other alloys. It’s perfect for grinding, blending, and finishing!
-
What does "80+" mean in the disc's name?
Absolutely! The "80+" refers to the abrasive grade—it's similar in cut to a traditional 80-grit flap disc but uses precision-shaped grain that cuts even faster and lasts longer.
-
Is T27-Flat the right shape for my project?
Yes! T27–Flat discs are designed for smooth grinding at a shallow angle (about 0–15°), making them great for flat surfaces or edge work. If you need more aggressive stock removal on curved surfaces, you might want a T29 conical style instead.
-
How large is this flap disc?
This particular disc measures a full 5 inches in diameter with a standard center hole of 7/8 inch. That means it fits most common angle grinders—super easy to use!
-
How many discs do I get in one case?
Each case comes with ten (10) of these high-performance flap discs. You'll have plenty to keep your project moving smoothly!
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 versatile abrasive 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 your workpiece. Designed with a robust polyester backing and enhanced with 3M’s latest Precision-Shaped Grain technology, the 1169F flap disc is optimized for use on carbon steel and stands out for its remarkable durability and efficiency.
What sets the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F apart is its re-engineered Precision-Shaped Grain, now featuring innovative curved sides. This proprietary grain technology is designed to continually fracture into sharp, self-renewing points, allowing the disc to slice cleanly through metal rather than plowing through it like conventional abrasives. As a result, the disc maintains a consistently high cut-rate throughout its lifespan, providing up to 49% more total material removal compared to the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Flap Disc 969F 40+ grade, and up to 66% more than the 3M™ Flap Disc 769F 40+ grade.
Built to withstand medium to high-pressure applications, the 1169F flap disc excels in tasks such as beveling, weld grinding, deburring, and working on edges and contours. Its ability to leave a refined finish also makes it an excellent choice for blending and surface preparation, streamlining your workflow and reducing 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 situations, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F enables you to both grind and finish in a single step, eliminating the need to switch abrasives. Under typical conditions, the 1169F 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 flap disc’s ability to combine steps and reduce disc change-outs can significantly enhance productivity and save valuable time in your operation.
