PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can I use the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F on?
You can use this flap disc on a wide range of metals, including carbon steel and stainless steel. It's great for grinding, deburring, blending, and finishing!
-
What does the "80+" grit mean for this flap disc?
The "80+" means it has an abrasive grade similar to traditional 80 grit but with even more cutting power, thanks to our precision-shaped grain technology. You'll get faster cuts and a smoother finish!
-
Is this flap disc compatible with my angle grinder that uses a 5/8 in-11 threaded hub?
Yes! This disc has a quick-change attachment with a 5/8 in-11 hub, so it should fit most standard angle grinders with that thread size—super easy to swap out.
-
How long does the Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc typically last compared to regular flap discs?
Great question! Thanks to its advanced abrasive design, our Cubitron™ 3 Flap Discs usually last significantly longer than conventional discs—in fact, you’ll notice they cut sharper and stay effective job after job.
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 excellent conformability and user-friendly operation—with advanced features that minimize the risk of gouging, ensuring a smooth and consistent finish on a variety of surfaces.
At the heart of the 1169F is 3M’s innovative 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 traditional abrasives. The result is a disc that maintains a high cut-rate and delivers a consistently superior finish throughout its extended lifespan.
Constructed with a robust polyester backing, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is specifically designed for demanding applications on carbon steel. It stands out for its remarkable material removal capabilities—delivering up to 49% more total material removed 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 makes it an excellent choice for medium to high-pressure tasks, including beveling, weld grinding, deburring, and working on edges and contours.
In addition to its cutting power, the 1169F leaves a refined finish, making it suitable for blending and surface preparation tasks. Its ability to deliver a finish that is typically one grade finer than a fiber disc of the same grade means that, in many cases, you can grind and finish in a single step—eliminating the need for frequent abrasive changes and saving valuable time on the job.
Key Applications- Weld grinding
- Light grinding
- Beveling
- Deburring
- Blending
- Finishing
- Surface preparation
- Scale removal
- Weld spatter removal
- Working on edges and contours
For many operations, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F allows you to both grind and finish in a single step, thanks to its ability to produce a finer finish than a fiber disc of the same grade. While fiber discs may offer a faster initial cut, the 1169F’s efficiency in combining steps and reducing disc change-outs can significantly enhance productivity and workflow efficiency.
