PRODUCT FAQ
-
What grit size is the Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F, and what type of materials can it work on?
The Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F comes in 80+ grit, which is ideal for general-purpose grinding and blending on a variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, and other metals. It's a versatile choice for both heavy stock removal and finishing work!
-
Is this flap disc compatible with my standard 7-inch angle grinder?
Absolutely! The 7-inch diameter with a 7/8-inch center hole makes it the perfect fit for most standard 7-inch angle grinders. Just make sure your grinder is equipped with a Type 27 flat backing pad, which this disc is designed for.
-
How many discs are included in each case, and does 3M stand behind the quality?
Each case contains 5 flap discs, so you'll have plenty on hand for your projects. 3M backs every Cubitron 3 product with our commitment to quality and durability—you can trust that you're getting a premium abrasive that will deliver consistent performance and excellent results!
The 3M Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F represents an advanced solution in abrasive disc technology, engineered to deliver exceptional longevity and versatility across a wide range of grinding and finishing applications. This sophisticated abrasive tool incorporates the fundamental benefits characteristic of quality flap discs, including superior conformability to curved surfaces, user-friendly operation, and a significantly reduced tendency to gouge or damage the workpiece.
Advanced Grain Technology and PerformanceAt the core of this product's excellence lies 3M's proprietary Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which has been meticulously re-engineered with curved side edges to optimize cutting performance. This innovative design allows the grain to continuously fracture into progressively sharper points, enabling the disc to slice through metal substrates with precision rather than relying on the plowing action characteristic of conventional abrasive materials. This sophisticated fracturing mechanism contributes directly to the disc's exceptional durability and consistent cutting efficiency throughout its operational lifespan.
Superior Material Removal RatesThe 1169F model demonstrates remarkable material removal capabilities when compared to predecessor technologies. Testing data indicates that this flap disc removes up to 49% more total material than the 3M Cubitron II Flap Disc 969F in the 40+ grade category, and delivers up to 66% greater material removal performance relative to the 3M Flap Disc 769F at the same 40+ grade specification. The durable polyester backing further enhances the disc's structural integrity during medium to high-pressure grinding operations.
Recommended Applications- Weld grinding and finishing
- Light to moderate grinding operations
- Beveling and edge work
- Deburring processes
- Blending and surface preparation
- Final finishing operations
- Industrial scale removal
- Weld spatter removal
- Work on edges, contours, and curved surfaces
A notable operational benefit of the 1169F is its capability to consolidate grinding and finishing procedures into a single step, potentially eliminating the need for abrasive disc changes during typical use. Under normal operating conditions, this flap disc produces a surface finish comparable to a fiber disc of one grade finer, thereby streamlining workflow and reducing downtime associated with tool changes while maintaining superior cutting performance.
