This disc helps prepare surfaces for painting or light deburring. Its conical shape and angled blades make it well-suited for curved edges and irregular contours. Users benefit from a stable, balanced design that performs reliably on both flat and angled metal work.
Usage Recommendations
For best results, use this disc after initial sanding with coarser grits to achieve a uniform surface. Apply it gently on steel, iron, and sheet metal, avoiding high-pressure operations. It works well on pipe fittings, structural components, and mechanical parts. Always ensure the tool is properly secured and that the disc is not exposed to moisture. Use in well-ventilated areas to manage dust. The disc is not recommended for heavy cutting or removing large amounts of material.
