Norton Vortex agglomerated grain technology enables the cutting power of a coarser grit while producing a finer finish, in one abrasives disc solution. It is an industry-first that provides a practical solution from roughing to finishing in one operation for difficult-to-reach, uneven areas.
According to Norton, the Vortex Rapid Prep Flap Discs last longer while simultaneously producing significantly increased cutting rates and smear-free finishes.
“We are pleased to announce the expanded Norton Vortex Rapid Prep Non-Woven Flap Disc Line, providing customers with a full range of disc sizes for reducing grinding steps and increasing productivity,” said Michael Radaelli, senior product manager, Norton | Saint-Gobain. “The new Mini Flap Discs can reach tighter, more difficult-to-access areas, and offer operators an ergonomic solution for light grinding applications.”
For maximum operator comfort, the Vortex Rapid Prep Flap Discs provide forgiveness and reduced vibration on uneven surfaces.
Ideal for light blending, stripping, edge breaking and surface prep applications in key industries such as metal fabrication and welding, aerospace, transportation, energy and construction, Norton non-woven flap discs feature special three-dimensional non-woven abrasive layers. This design ensures uniform finishing with consistently low surface finish Ra.
In addition, multiple layers of surface conditioning material provide added life, fewer disc changes for better efficiency, and reduced vibration. The discs also feature Norton proprietary Clean Bond resin technology that guarantees smear-free finishes, even on high nickel content alloys, and reduced loading when cutting aluminum and other softer metals.
Norton Vortex Rapid Prep Flap Discs are suitable for cleaning, light deburring and processing TIF welded seams on stainless steel.
Norton Vortex Rapid Prep “Type TR” Flap Discs are offered in 2 inch and 3 inch sizes and “Type 27” Discs are offered in 4-1/2 inch by 7/8 inch and 4-1/2 inch by 5/8 inch -11 sizes. The full line is available in very fine, fine, medium, and coarse grits.
