PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can I use the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F on?
Great question! The Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is designed for use on metals like carbon steel and stainless steel. It's perfect for grinding, blending, and finishing!
-
How long does this flap disc last compared to standard flap discs?
You’ll be happy to know that the Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc uses precision-shaped grain technology, so it tends to last much longer than conventional ceramic or alumina zirconia discs—sometimes up to twice as long!
-
Is this flap disc easy to attach to my angle grinder?
Absolutely! The disc has a center hole size of 7/8 inch, which fits most standard angle grinders with no special adapter needed. Just pop it on and you’re ready to get working!
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and durability, making it an ideal choice for demanding metalworking applications. This advanced flap disc combines the flexibility and user-friendly design you expect from a flap disc with innovative features that set it apart in the industry. Its conformable construction allows for smooth operation with a reduced risk of gouging, ensuring a consistent and high-quality finish on a variety of surfaces.
At the heart of the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is the newly re-engineered 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, now featuring curved sides for enhanced cutting efficiency. This proprietary grain technology is designed to continually fracture into sharp, precise points, enabling the disc to slice cleanly through metal rather than simply plowing through it. As a result, the disc maintains a high cut-rate and extended lifespan, outperforming traditional abrasives in both productivity and longevity.
Constructed with a robust polyester backing, the 1169F flap disc is built to withstand medium to high-pressure applications, such as beveling, weld grinding, deburring, and working on edges and contours. When used on carbon steel, it demonstrates remarkable efficiency—removing 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 makes it a top choice for professionals seeking to maximize productivity and reduce downtime.
In addition to its impressive cutting power, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 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 streamlining your workflow.
Key Applications- Weld grinding
- Light grinding
- Beveling
- Deburring
- Blending
- Finishing
- Surface preparation
- Scale removal
- Weld spatter removal
- Working on edges and contours
For many metalworking tasks, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F allows you to both grind and finish in a single operation, 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 flap disc can help you save time by reducing the number of steps and abrasive changes required, making your process more efficient overall.
