Flap Discs work on metals, composites and wood.

Press Release Summary:



Models A3 and Z3 discs work on ferrous metals such as iron and steel, nonferrous metals such as aluminum and brass, plus composites, plastics and wood. A3 flap discs are made of aluminum oxide with polyester backing. Z3 flap discs are made of 100% high-quality zirconia aluminum with poly-cotton backing that allows material to break down easily. Both withstand high temperatures that result when using coated abrasives at speeds of 16,000 SFPM.

Camel Grinding Wheels' New A3 and Z3 Flap Discs Feature Advanced Bonding Technology, High-Strength Backing


Camel Grinding Wheels, USA, a leading manufacturer of grinding wheels, flap discs and other abrasive grinding materials, has introduced two new lines of U.S.-made flap discs-A3 and Z3 flap discs.

A3 (pronounced "A cubed") stands for "Advanced, Aggressive Abrasive." The A3 flap discs are made of a premium aluminum oxide material with a polyester backing. They are designed for universal use, providing rapid stock removal and long service life.

The Z3 flap discs are made of a 100 percent high-quality Zirconia aluminum material with a poly-cotton backing designed to allow the material to break down easily. The Z3, recommended for aggressive use and heavy-duty applications, offers maximum cutting capacity, strong edge stability and long life.

Developed specifically for flap disc applications, the A3 and Z3 bonding technology provides a superior, moisture-resistant, resin bond. The bond withstands the high temperatures that result when using coated abrasives at speeds of 16,000 SFPM. and also provides longer grain retention, better stock removal and longer product life.

The A3 and Z3 flap discs feature specially formulated grains that permit universal use for heavy-duty grinding and deburring. It also provides for rapid stock removal and extremely long service life.

The grain allows the flap discs to be used on ferrous metals such as alloyed and unalloyed steels, structural steels, tool steel, high-speed steel, and cast-iron; as well as non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass. The discs can also be used on composites, plastics, and hard and soft woods.

Camel Grinding Wheels, USA has been one of the world's leading suppliers of grinding wheels since 1956. The Camel Grinding Wheels, USA facility in Niles, Illinois serves as a centralized warehouse with light manufacturing capabilities.
