Type 27 flap disc with zirconia abrasive on a premium cloth backing and a fiberglass substrate. The zirconia abrasive is intended to increase material removal compared with standard fiber resin sanding discs. The fiberglass backing supports grinding at a shallow angle (5–15°).
Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Rust and Paint Removal
Offer on-site surface prep for gates, railings, trailers, and machinery. The zirconia discs strip rust, scale, and flaky paint quickly at a controlled angle, reducing cleanup and rework. Bill per foot or per project and upsell primer application.
Weld Cleanup and Finishing for Fabricators
Partner with local welders to take their parts from welded to paint-ready. Provide consistent weld blending, edge rounding, and surface prep on brackets, furniture frames, and guardrails. The long-life flap discs keep costs predictable for batch work.
Grind-Pattern Decor Shop
Produce and sell grind-pattern metal panels, clocks, coasters, and backsplashes on Etsy or at markets. Use controlled grinding at 5–15° to create repeatable textures, then clear coat or resin cast. Market the metallic shimmer and custom pattern options.
Patio Furniture Refurb Service
Refinish rusted steel patio sets by stripping rust and smoothing joints, then repainting or clear-coating. Offer pickup/drop-off or on-site service before summer. Package tiers for single pieces, sets, and add-ons like table frames and fire pit rings.
Powder-Coat Prep Partner
Provide powder-coat shops with consistent pre-prep: edge smoothing, weld blending, and mill-scale removal on incoming parts. The 60-grit zirconia achieves fast material removal while keeping surfaces uniform for coating adhesion, improving throughput.
Creative
Grind-Painted Metal Wall Art
Create abstract wall art from reclaimed sheet steel by removing rust and mill scale with the zirconia flap disc, then laying in controlled swirl and feathered patterns at a 5–15° angle. Seal with clear coat or tinted resin so the grind marks refract light. The 60-grit leaves a dramatic but blendable texture that pops under clear finishes.
Welded Coffee Table Frame with Seamless Blends
Fabricate a steel coffee table or side table frame, then use the Type 27 disc to blend weld beads flush and soften edges without digging in. The shallow grinding angle helps maintain flat planes on the legs and aprons, prepping the frame for powder coat or paint for a clean, professional look.
Garden Horseshoe Sculptures
Weld horseshoes into trellises, yard art, or plant stands. Use the flap disc to remove rust, bevel joint areas for better weld penetration, and smooth welds for a uniform finish. Finish with a brushed-metal look or a clear coat to preserve the raw aesthetic.
Upcycled Tool and Knife Refurb
Rescue old chisels, axes, and workshop knives by removing rust and pitting, re-establishing bevels, and blending surfaces with the 60-grit zirconia. Follow up with finer grits or hand sand for a satin finish. Package refurbished tools as gift sets or shop staples.
Textured Wood Sculpting
Use the flap disc at a shallow angle to carve and texture softwoods for rustic shelves, driftwood-style picture frames, or live-edge accents. The 60-grit shapes quickly; finish by hand sanding to refine the surface. Great for creating relief textures before staining.
