Premium Product Manufactured in Germany, Honestly Priced.
The flap disc was invented in the 1970’s in Germany. Since then, flap discs have continued to increase in use in lieu of traditional grinding wheels and resin fiber discs. Flap disc popularity has increased because they grind and finish material in a single step, thus saving time and money. Today, there are specific flap discs for each application, and it is critical to match the correct disc to the specific task at hand.

All Flap Discs are not the same. Questions to ask your flap disc supplier.
- Where are the flap discs made. If the answer is China, beware as the product is inferior and most likely made with poor working and environmental conditions.
- What material is used for the coated abrasive flaps. The best material for flap discs is VSM German made coated abrasives.
- Should I use a different flap disc for different materials such as steel, stainless steel and aluminum. If they do not know the answer find another supplier. There are specific flap discs which excel for each material.
- And of course price. If they are charging over $2.00 for a 4-1/2" standard Flap Disc they are overcharging you based on the cost to produce this product in the USA or Europe using premium materials.
