Flexovit Range — Quick Reference by Abrasive Type
Flexovit is the AS/NZS-rated abrasives brand for metalworking, weld prep and surface finishing — grinding discs, cutting discs, flap discs, fibre discs and bench grinding wheels. Selection turns on operation (cutting vs grinding vs blending) and substrate (steel, stainless, aluminium). All Flexovit abrasives comply with AS/NZS 1788 / EN 12413 safety standards.

| Grinding Discs (Depressed Centre Type 27) | Surface grinding, weld dressing, blending — angle grinder | 100, 125, 180, 230 mm × 4-7 mm |
| Flap Discs (Type 27 / 29) | Aggressive grinding + finishing in one disc — angle grinder | 100, 115, 125, 178 mm × P40-P120 grit |
| Fibre Discs (with Backing Pad) | Surface finish, weld blend, light material removal | 100, 115, 125, 178 mm × P24-P120 grit |
| Bench Grinding Wheels | Sharpening, off-hand grinding — bench/pedestal grinder | 150, 200, 250 mm × 25-50 mm wide |
| Bench Cut-Off Wheels | Bench-mount precision cut-off | 200, 300, 350 mm |
| Sanding Belts | Belt linisher, portable belt sander | 50, 75, 100 mm wide; various lengths |
Cut vs Grind: Type 41 cutting discs are thin (1.0-3.0 mm) — use only edge-on for cutting; NEVER side-load. Type 27 depressed-centre grinding discs are thicker (4-7 mm) — use the face for grinding; NOT for cutting. Substrate-specific options: stainless-specific (no ferrous contamination), aluminium-specific (prevents loading). Companion ranges: abrasives, cut-off wheels, grinding wheels & accessories.

Flexovit Grinding Discs & Cutting Wheels
Flexovit's grinding and cutting range covers the most common angle grinder applications -- grinding weld seams, cutting structural steel and preparing metal surfaces prior to coating.
- Flexovit Grinding Disc: Depressed centre grinding disc in 100mm, 115mm and 125mm diameters; aluminium oxide abrasive for general-purpose carbon steel, stainless and cast iron grinding at a consistent stock removal rate
- Flexovit Metal Cutting Disc: Thin kerf cutting disc for clean, fast cuts in structural steel, pipe and flat bar; reduced material waste and lower heat generation compared to standard-thickness cutting wheels
- Flexovit Stainless Steel Cutting Disc: Iron-free and sulphur-free abrasive formulation specifically for stainless steel; prevents contamination that causes surface corrosion in food, pharmaceutical and chemical processing applications
Flexovit Flap Discs, Fibre Discs & Bench Grinding Wheels
Flexovit's flap discs and fibre discs achieve combined grinding and finishing in a single pass, producing a smoother result than conventional grinding discs.
- Flexovit Flap Disc: Zirconia or aluminium oxide flap disc in T27 flat and T29 angled configurations; grinding and blending in a single step for weld seam removal, edge deburring and paint stripping on carbon steel
- Flexovit Fibre Disc: Resin-bonded fibre-backed disc for use with a backing pad; suited to aluminium, stainless, mild steel and timber when mounted on a random orbital or angle grinder
- Flexovit Bench Grinding Wheel: Aluminium oxide bench wheel in 150mm and 200mm diameters for pedestal and bench grinders; used for tool sharpening, metal removal and deburring in maintenance workshops
