The abrasive unit contains a carrying disc (A) with a hub (1) set off in the central zone, having a coaxial hole (2) reinforced with a steel flange sleeve (3) for mounting the abrasive unit on the spindle of the angular hand grinder. The lower edges of numerous abrasive flaps (B) are fixed with glue binders (5) on the ring surface of the near-edge zone (4), the abrasive flaps subsequently overlapping one another in the circumferential direction so that their rear edges are exposed. The wheel of the carrying disc (A) is a layered polymer composite with reinforcement consisting of at least two meshes of glass fibre situated on both frontal surfaces of the carrying disc (A). The meshes are bonded by a composite matrix containing a binder of a thermosetting synthetic resin, a fine-grained material in the form of inorganic, mineral or synthetic loose material, particularly quartz, calcareous, carbonaceous or polymineral sand, industrial or quarry dusts, blast furnace or copper slag, or a mixture of the aforementioned materials and for which the natural or crumbled grain size ranges from 0.06 to 2.0 mm and the hardness according to the Mohs scale ranges from 3 to 7.

A tool with tool elements, rotating grinding and/or sanding tool is provided. The tool consists of a tool portion and a mounting portion, which secures the tool elements in the tool. The tool is distinguished in that the tool portion comprises first mount, and the mounting portion includes second corresponding mount for engaging with the first mount. The first and second mount include one or more resilient tabs, each of which is provided with at least one barb, and furthermore the mount comprises one or more recesses. When the tool portion and the mounting portion are assembled, the barbs on the resilient tabs will lock in the recesses of the mounting portion which are designed for this, locking the tool portion and the mounting portion to each other.

An abrasive tool includes a support, on which a plurality of abrasive flaps is arranged. The abrasive flaps each have a base and abrasive material, which is attached to the base by means of a binder. To increase the useful life and total material abrasion, the abrasive flaps are reinforced by a cured filling resin. The reinforcement of the abrasive flaps reduces the cyclical deflection thereof around a zero position due to workpiece machining, thereby avoiding increased wear on the abrasive flaps.

This invention relates to abrasive flap discs that include wearable backing plates and methods of making and using such abrasive flap discs and wearable backing plates. The claimed articles, processes, and systems related to the use and manufacturing of such abrasive articles are improved in performance and cost effectiveness.
