Garryson ceramic flap discs
A multi-purpose ceramic cloth-based flap disc that increases cutting productivity by up to 22 per cent and boasts a significantly prolonged usable life has been introduced by ATI Stellram, Ibstock.
CERAMIQ discs are designed for aggressive metal finishing applications ranging from removing weld sputter and cleaning joints to grinding profiles on difficult to machine materials such as high alloy steels and titanium. Suited to both heavy grinding and finishing in one operation, CERAMIQ discs boast of achieving optimum surface finish by avoiding scoring, marking and 'blueing' of the work piece.
At the core of CERAMIQ flap disc is its 'semi-jumbo construction' of a robust sandwich of overlapping ceramic sheets that are much narrower (20 mm) than on conventional flap discs. The result is a concentrated cutting zone with all the cloth usable, eliminating waste on discarded discs compared to conventional flap discs where uneven cutting wear results in discs containing unused cutting material being thrown away.
In 55 minute long tests, 22 per cent more stock than a conventional zirconium disc, and 14 per cent more than a competitive ceramic disc, was removed. The CERAMIQ disc also lasted longer, remaining fully usable for a continuous 70 minute cutting period.
Garryson CERAMIQ flap discs are available in 115, 125 and 180 mm diameters with 36, 40, 60 and 80 grits.
The flap disc range has internationally recognised accreditations and all Garryson products meet the standards of BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accreditation.
