PRODUCT FAQ
-
What materials can I use the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F on?
You can use this flap disc on a variety of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and alloys. It’s designed for excellent performance in metal fabrication and grinding applications!
-
How long does the Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc last compared to regular flap discs?
Great question! The Cubitron™ 3 abrasive technology allows it to cut faster and last significantly longer than standard ceramic or aluminum oxide flap discs—so you’ll spend less time changing discs and more time working.
-
Is this flap disc easy to attach to my grinder?
Absolutely! This model features a quick-change hub with a convenient 5/8"-11 thread that fits most angle grinders. Just screw it on, and you’re ready to go!
-
Can the T29-Conical shape be used for both edge and surface grinding?
Yes, it can! The T29 conical design is ideal for aggressive stock removal as well as blending and finishing on flat surfaces or at an angle. It's super versatile for your shop needs!
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and durability for a wide range of metalworking applications. This advanced flap disc combines the hallmark benefits of flap discs—such as flexibility, ease of use, and reduced risk of gouging—with innovative features that set it apart in the industry. Designed with a robust polyester backing and the latest generation of 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, now enhanced with a unique curved sides design, this disc offers superior material removal and extended lifespan, making it an ideal choice for demanding tasks on carbon steel.
Compared to previous models, the 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Flap Disc 1169F demonstrates remarkable efficiency. It 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. This impressive performance is maintained even in medium to high-pressure applications, such as beveling, weld grinding, deburring, and working on challenging edges and contours. The disc also produces a refined finish, making it an excellent option for blending and surface preparation tasks.
At the heart of this flap disc is 3M’s proprietary Precision-Shaped Grain technology, now re-engineered with curved sides. This innovative grain continually fractures into sharp, self-renewing points that slice cleanly through metal, rather than plowing through it like conventional abrasives. This self-sharpening action ensures the disc maintains a high cut-rate and consistent performance throughout its service life, resulting in less downtime and fewer disc changes.
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 allows you to both grind and finish in a single step, eliminating the need to switch abrasives. Under typical conditions, this flap disc 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 1169F flap disc can streamline your workflow by reducing the number of steps and disc changes required, ultimately saving you valuable time and effort.
