The Forney 71986 is a 4.5-inch Type 29 depressed-center flap disc designed for use with right-angle grinders. Built with blue zirconia abrasive cloth, this disc delivers fast cutting action and exceptional durability. The multiple layers of zirconia cloth flaps continuously expose fresh, sharp grinding points, maintaining consistent performance throughout the life of the disc. Whether you’re performing rough stock removal or fine finishing work, this flap disc combines the flexibility and versatility needed for demanding grinding and finishing applications.
The disc features a reinforced fiberglass backing plate that provides strength and stability during operation. Each disc is individually balance-tested to ensure smooth, vibration-free grinding and finishing. The 4.5-inch size offers excellent maneuverability in tight spaces and confined work areas, making it ideal for detailed work. The 7/8-inch arbor fits standard right-angle grinders, and the laminated construction uses state-of-the-art automated equipment for consistent quality.
