PRODUCT FAQ
-
Is the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F compatible with standard angle grinders?
Yes, it is! The disc comes with a 5/8"-11 quick change hub, which fits most standard right-angle grinders—making it super easy and convenient to use.
-
What kind of materials can I use this flap disc on?
Great question! This flap disc is designed for grinding and finishing metals like stainless steel, mild steel, and other alloys. It's especially good for weld removal, beveling, blending, and edge work.
-
What’s special about the "Cubitron™ 3" abrasive used in this flap disc?
The Cubitron™ 3 abrasive uses precision-shaped ceramic grain technology that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional abrasives. That means you get more work done with less effort—and fewer disc changes along the way!
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 for use on carbon steel, the 1169F flap disc is built to withstand medium to high-pressure tasks, ensuring reliable results even in the most challenging environments.
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 continually fractures 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 and an extended lifespan, reducing the need for frequent disc changes and maximizing productivity.
Compared to previous generations, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F offers remarkable improvements in material removal. It delivers up to 49% more total material removed than the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Flap Disc 969F 40+ grade, and up to 66% more than the 3M™ Flap Disc 769F 40+ grade. The durable polyester backing further enhances the disc’s resilience, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including beveling, weld grinding, deburring, and working on edges and contours. Additionally, the disc leaves a refined finish, making it an excellent choice for blending and surface preparation tasks.
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 streamline your workflow by reducing steps and minimizing disc change-outs can lead to significant time savings and increased efficiency.
