The Forney 71946 Strip and Finish Disk is designed for efficient cleaning and stripping of metal surfaces back to their bare form. This heavy-duty disk is constructed with purple non-woven fiber webbing adhered to a durable fiberglass backing. Its open web design facilitates cooler material removal, preventing clogging and maintaining consistent cutting effectiveness throughout the disk's lifespan. This design also aids in heat dispersion, which helps to reduce warp lines, burning, and discoloration on the workpiece. It is suitable for use on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The non-woven fibers offer a safer alternative to wire brushes by significantly reducing the risk of injury from loose flying material.
