Refined Grinding Performance: The Marksman 115mm 80-Grit Flap Disc
The Marksman 4.5″ 80-Grit Flap Disc is an essential hardware accessory for metalwork and fabrication. At ECO Heat Shop, we prioritise tools that enhance efficiency and safety. Unlike rigid grinding wheels, flap discs feature overlapping abrasive strips that provide a more cushioned, “user-friendly” feel. This reduces vibration and the risk of gouging the workpiece, ensuring a high-quality finish while protecting your power tools from unnecessary strain.
Whether you are cleaning up a weld on a heating bracket or stripping old paint from a radiator, the 80-grit profile offers the perfect balance. It is aggressive enough to remove surface imperfections and rust, yet refined enough to leave a smooth surface ready for priming or painting.
Key Features & Professional Benefits
- Cooler Cutting Action: The “flap” design allows air to circulate through the abrasive layers, preventing heat discolouration on the workpiece—vital when working with thin metals or stainless steel.
- High Stock Removal: Engineered with premium abrasive grains that maintain their sharpness, allowing you to work faster with less manual pressure.
- Consistent Finish: As the outer edge of each flap wears down, new abrasive material is exposed, ensuring the disc performs consistently from the first minute to the last.
- Fibreglass Backing: Features a lightweight, high-strength fibreglass backing plate that absorbs vibration and provides structural integrity during high-speed rotation.
- Multi-Material Capability: While optimised for steel and iron, this disc is equally effective for shaping hardwoods and cleaning up plastic edges.

Why Source Abrasives from ECO Heat Shop?
As a specialist UK-registered hardware provider (Company No: 16383897), we only stock consumables that meet the rigorous safety standards of the British trade. Marksman abrasives are favoured for their reliability and industrial-grade construction. We offer fast UK delivery and products that help you achieve a professional-grade finish on every project.
Expert Tip: For the best results, hold the angle grinder at an angle of 15° to 25° against the workpiece. This allows the flaps to flex and contour to the surface, maximising the abrasive contact area and preventing the disc from wearing unevenly. Always wear eye protection and a dust mask when using abrasive discs.
