mmsonline.com April 2017 MMS 163 MODERN EQUIPMENT REVIEW Spotlight: Grinding GRINDING WHEEL OFFERS LONG TOOL LIFE Innovative Products of America (IPA) offers its #8150 4.5" dia- mond grinding wheel. The d i s c's th re e - d i m e n s i o n a l contour with topside abrasive coating and thin profile edge enables cutting, back cutting, gully cutting and bead finishing with one wheel. Featuring a diamond-abrasive coating, the disc cuts fast and clean and maintains its size and shape throughout its long life, the company says. That means consistent reach and perfor- mance when dressing welds, accessing corners and more. Innovative Products of America Inc., call 888-786-7899 or visit ipatools.com. ANGLED FLAP DISCS PROVIDE LONG DISC LIFE Weiler Abrasives Group has added a new flap disc to its Tiger coated abrasives lineup. Accord- ing to the company, the new angled flap discs deliver aggressive grinding and long disc life, along with greater flexibility for grinding fillet welds, T joints, hard-to-reach places, and repair and rework applications. They are ideal for grinding steel, stainless steel, aluminum and other hard- to-grind metals without wearing prematurely. The angled flap discs feature a 90-degree angled flap design, which enables the operator to grind at a higher or lower angle, along with a phenolic backing that provides stability to the flaps. The angled flaps reduce the risk of gouging the workpiece while grinding fillet welds for a smoother finish. Tiger angled flap discs are avail- able with a 7 / 8 " arbor or with a 5 / 8 " -11 nut for fast change-over. Weiler offers these products in both ceramic and zirconium versions.
