PowerLock fx Quick-Change Flexible Discs
PowerLock fx — the flexible, all purpose alternative to Merit’s traditional quick change disc is ideal for contoured or flat surfaces. For weld removal, the most common grits used are 36-50 while 60-120 grits are used for removal of imperfections and blending. These discs have added flexibility and are used on a wide range of applications.
PowerLock Discs come in a choice of three safe, easy-to-use fasteners.
No matter which fastener type you choose, all Merit PowerLock Discs feature laminated construction which provide a tough, durable backing — virtually eliminating the snagging and shredding that can occur with pressure-sensitive discs.
