Featuring precision-shaped grain designed for maximum performance on the toughest metals
CRESCO, Pa. — March 3, 2025 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading producer of abrasives and power brushes for surface conditioning, is excited to announce new Tiger 3D MAX Ceramic flap discs and blending discs — products built for maximum material removal, durability, and consistency. This expansion of the 3D MAX lineup brings advanced precision-shaped grain technology to a wider range of grinding applications.
“Our 3D MAX technology is built to let the grain do the work,” said Michael Zulauf, Product Manager, Weiler Abrasives. “By maximizing the cut rate and reducing the effort required by the operator, we are helping our customers improve efficiency and consistency and reduce fatigue, all while cutting down on costly disc changeovers.”
Engineered to maximize efficiency and throughput, the Tiger 3D MAX products feature 3D precision-shaped grain to help operators remove more material in less time. The grain stands upright and micro-fractures to stay sharp, delivering an exceptional cut rate. The design also optimizes grain retention, extending product life and ensuring operations get the most for their money.
Tiger 3D MAX Ceramic flap discs are designed for maximum metal removal while maintaining control across a wide range of grinding and finishing applications. Flap discs are available in 4.5- and 7-inch sizes, with 7/8 open arbor and 5/8-11 hub options.
Tiger 3D MAX Ceramic blending discs help operators blend welds faster, reduce rework, and maintain consistent results in surface refinement applications. Blending discs are available in both Type S and Type R style connections to allow for quick mounting and disc changes.
The Tiger 3D MAX portfolio, which also includes resin fiber discs, addresses pain points where downtime and labor costs are critical. Key features and benefits include:
-
Exceptional material removal: 3D precision-shaped grain maximizes cut rates, enabling up to 30% faster material removal than standard ceramic grain.
-
Longer disc life: Optimized grain retention extends product life and reduces changeovers.
-
Cooler grinding: A specialized top coat reduces heat buildup and glazing, protecting high-value parts from discoloration and damage.
-
Reduced operator fatigue: Micro-fracturing grain technology lets the grains do the work, reducing the required operator pressure and making tough grinding jobs easier.
-
Contaminant-free formula: Both disc types are contaminant-free, making them safe for use on stainless steel and aluminum.
