A fibre disc as we know it is also called a Vulcanised Fibre disc. Vulcanised fibre is a composite material, made of cellulose. This name refers to the vulcanisation of natural rubber to form harder rubber. Great mechanical strength and stability at a low weight.
Many people use Fibre discs as a finishing pad but they are so much more than that. These discs are exceptionally suited for rough grinding work, rust removal, deburring and working on welded seams. With high material removal rates and service life, producing an optimal finish what more are you looking for?
What are fibre discs?
Fibre discs are round grinding wheels with a backing made of vulcanised fibre. This is coated on one side with resin and abrasive grain. Fitted to suitable backing pads used on angle grinders.
Fibre discs can be used for
Finish grinding surfaces
Rough machining
Machining metal
Why are we using them?
Vulcanised fibre discs are used for various general-purpose applications, but why?
A fine & uniform scratch pattern
Excellent adaptability
The elasticity of the backing
Many users prefer them to traditional grinding wheels as there is much less vibration in use and the coarser grits can rapidly remove material
Most importantly more affordable.
