• Sanding and finishing: pre-cut foam backed abrasive roll, Grit. Gold paper backed sanding disc.

Fibre backing or plastic backing

On a flap disc, the backing does not change the abrasive but it changes how the disc is consumed and disposed of.

The fibre backing is rigid and inexpensive, and holds up well under sustained grinding. It has to be taken off the hub before disposal.

The plastic backing wears away at the same rate as the flaps, so the disc is consumed entirely and leaves no rigid residue. It also avoids marking the part as the disc reaches the end of its life, since there is no hard edge left to make contact.
