Optimizing Flap Disc Life With Variable Speed Grinder

The right speed increases the service life of flap discs by up to 100%. The optimal speed for flap discs usage is between 5,000 and 8,000 rpm. The use of a powerful speed controlled angle grindler such as the Metabo WE14-125VS optimises grinding with flap discs and greatly extends disc life.




A typical 4-1/2" angle grinder runs at 11,000 rpm. If you use flap discs we recommend purchasing the Metabo WE14-125VS and adjusting the speed to 7000 rpm in order to extend flap disc life and reduce your abrasive finishing costs.
