PRODUCT FAQ
-
What grit level is this flap disc, and what type of work is it best for?
This is a 40+ grit flap disc, which makes it ideal for aggressive material removal and grinding applications. It's perfect for deburring, weld grinding, and heavy stock removal on steel and stainless steel.
-
Will this flap disc work with my quick change system?
Yes! This disc features 3M's T29-Flat Quick Change backing, so it's designed to work seamlessly with compatible quick change systems, giving you fast, tool-free changes and saving you valuable time on the job.
-
What size is this flap disc, and how many do I get in a case?
This flap disc is 6 inches in diameter with a 5/8 inch-11 arbor hole, and you'll receive 5 discs per case, so you'll have plenty on hand for your projects.
The 3M Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F represents an advanced abrasive solution engineered for demanding grinding and finishing applications. This versatile disc combines the inherent benefits characteristic of quality flap discs—including superior conformability and user-friendly operation—with a notably reduced tendency toward surface gouging. The disc's construction features a durable polyester backing that provides structural integrity throughout extended use cycles.
Superior Material Removal PerformanceThis innovative abrasive disc incorporates 3M's proprietary Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which has been re-engineered with curved sides to optimize cutting efficiency. When compared to predecessor models, the 1169F demonstrates exceptional performance metrics: it removes up to 49% more total material than the 3M Cubitron II Flap Disc 969F in the 40+ grade classification, and delivers up to 66% greater material removal than the traditional 3M Flap Disc 769F 40+ grade. These performance improvements make it an excellent choice for medium to high-pressure grinding operations.
Advanced Grain TechnologyThe distinguishing characteristic of the 3M Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F lies in its proprietary Precision-Shaped Grain formulation with curved sides design. Unlike conventional abrasive materials that tend to compress against the workpiece, this engineered grain structure continuously fractures into progressively sharper cutting points. This controlled fracturing action slices through metal with precision rather than plowing, resulting in extended disc longevity and sustained cutting performance throughout the product's service life.
Recommended Applications- Weld grinding and finishing
- Light to medium grinding operations
- Beveling tasks
- Deburring processes
- Blending operations
- General finishing work
- Surface preparation
- Scale and oxidation removal
- Weld spatter removal
- Work on edges and contoured surfaces
A significant operational benefit of the 3M Cubitron 3 Flap Disc 1169F is its capability to accomplish both grinding and finishing operations in a single step under normal working conditions. The disc typically generates a surface finish comparable to a fiber disc that is one grade finer than its own classification. This characteristic allows operators to potentially eliminate intermediate disc changes and transition steps, thereby reducing overall processing time and enhancing workflow efficiency on the shop floor.
