PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the grit level of this flap disc and what materials can it handle?
This disc features a 60+ grit, which makes it ideal for aggressive grinding and removal work on metal surfaces. It's specifically designed for metal applications and provides excellent stock removal while maintaining a fast, efficient cut.
-
Will this flap disc work with my quick change system?
Yes! The T29-Conical Quick Change design allows for fast, tool-free changes between discs. This means less downtime and more productivity—you can swap discs in seconds without needing additional equipment.
-
What size is this flap disc and how many do I get per case?
Each disc measures 4 inches in diameter with a 3/8 inch-24 hub. You'll receive 10 discs per case, giving you plenty of product for your grinding and finishing jobs.
-
Why should I choose 3M Cubitron 3 flap discs over other brands?
Cubitron 3 is engineered with advanced grain technology that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional abrasives. You'll experience less heat, cooler grinding, and increased productivity—which means better results and lower overall costs for your operation.
The 3M Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F represents a sophisticated abrasive solution engineered for demanding grinding applications. This long-lasting, versatile disc incorporates all the essential characteristics professionals expect from modern flap discs, including exceptional conformability to work surfaces and intuitive handling that significantly reduces the risk of material gouging. The combination of advanced abrasive technology and thoughtfully designed backing material makes this disc suitable for a wide range of industrial and fabrication tasks.
At the core of this product's performance lies 3M's proprietary Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which has been carefully re-engineered with curved sides to optimize cutting efficiency. This innovative design enables the abrasive grain to continuously fracture into microscopically sharp cutting points that slice through metal surfaces with precision and efficiency. This contrasts sharply with conventional abrasive products, which tend to create a plowing action that generates excessive heat and wear. The resulting fracturing mechanism contributes to extended disc lifespan and maintains consistently high material removal rates throughout the product's operational life.
Performance testing demonstrates impressive material removal capabilities compared to predecessor models. The 1169F disc delivers up to 49% greater total material removal when compared to the 3M Cubitron II Flap Disc 969F in 40+ grade, and up to 66% more material removal versus the 3M Flap Disc 769F in 40+ grade. This enhanced performance makes the disc particularly effective for medium to high-pressure grinding operations where efficiency and productivity are paramount concerns.
Recommended Applications- Weld grinding and finishing
- Light to moderate grinding operations
- Beveling work on various metal substrates
- Deburring sharp edges and surfaces
- Blending operations for seamless transitions
- General finishing work
- Surface preparation and conditioning
- Scale and rust removal
- Weld spatter removal
- Work on complex edges and contoured surfaces
One of the most significant benefits of the 3M Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F is its ability to consolidate multiple grinding steps into a single operation. Under typical working conditions, this disc produces a surface finish that is approximately one grade finer than a comparable fiber disc of the same grit rating. While fiber discs may cut slightly faster initially, the 1169F eliminates the need for subsequent finishing operations and multiple disc changes, resulting in meaningful time savings and reduced operational downtime in professional settings.
