The Norton Bluefire Type 29 Flap Disc is a versatile grinding and finishing tool, consisting of a backing plate, adhesive and abrasive cloth flaps. The rectangular flaps are overlapped and glued to the backing plate. Flap discs are designed for right-angle grinder applications ranging from heavy stock removal to surface blending. Type 29 flap discs feature a built-in angle that allows for more aggressive cutting action, making this option ideal for stock removal and faster cutting on flats or contours.
