VFlex Flexible Sanding Disc

The VFlex sanding disc is perfect for paint, coating, oxide and rust removal, grinding burr and chamfering on the edge of steel, stainless steel and contoured surfaces. The VFlex has a flexible, rubber-sandwiched cushion body that dramatically reduces unpleasant noise and vibrations. The disc follows the surface curve with ease as well as offers long life and high performance reducing downtime replacing tooling. The VFlex is also ideal to shape natural and engineered stones and glass. The Vflex sanding disc is available in 5’ and 7” with 7/8” arbor or with 5/8”-11 zinc hub.

Question : How long does it last compared with a resin fiber sanding disc?

Answer : In the case of stone applications compared with silicon carbide grits, VFlex Flexible sanding disc may last up to 50 to 60 times longer than the amount of a resin fiber sanding disc. However, a resin fiber sanding disc may decrease the performance quickly, so that you can get much more productivity and efficiency by using VFlex Disc.

Question : Can I use it with water to eliminate dust?

Answer : Yes, you can use VFlex Flexible Sanding Disc with water to keep the dust down. It also enhances the performance and life span if used as a wet application.

Question : How do we eliminate dust during the application?

Answer : Alpha® offers the Ecoguard G which will retrofit on most industrial grade 4.5” and 5” variable-speed grinders. You can also use the HEPA vacuum in conjunction with Vflex Flexible Sanding Disc and Ecoguard to enjoy a virtually dust free grinding application. When you use the vacuum, make sure to check the material, as some metal alloy powders are combustible.

Question : Why doesn’t Alpha® offer a square arbor option for use on the Ecogrinder?

Answer : VFlex Flexible Sanding Disc is used at a slight angle so that it is not most suitable for flat sanding on the large surface. It is also a sanding disc so that the Max RPM of the Ecogrinder is too fast for VFlex Flexible Sanding Disc.

Question : What kind of tool can I use with VFlex Flexible Sanding Disc?

Answer : You can use VFlex Flexible Sanding Disc on Sander, Polisher and Variable Speed Angle Grinder when used below 5,000 rpm. You can use the original flange & lock nut with supplied wrench, or simply get a VFlex Disc with the disposable zinc hub with 5/8”-11 female thread, so that you can spin on and off using the spindle lock.
