Continental Abrasives Spotlight: Keep Your Shop Grinding With Confidence

Continental Abrasives Spotlight: Keep Your Shop Grinding With Confidence

At Welding Equipment Plus, we know that the right abrasive can make—or—break your project’s timeline, finish quality, and bottom line. That’s why we’ve partnered with Continental Abrasives to bring you a full spectrum of premium grinding, cutting, and surface‑prep solutions that ship on schedule, month after month. Whether you run a two‑person fab shop or oversee maintenance for a multi‑state operation, our consumable replacement program keeps your shelves stocked and your crews productive.


Why Quality Abrasives Matter

Abrasives aren’t just another line item—they’re the last thing that touches your workpiece before it ships. Sub‑par discs introduce heat, chatter, and premature wear to your grinders, driving up rework and labor costs. Continental’s engineered grains, fiberglass reinforcement, and balanced hubs deliver cooler cuts, longer life, and less operator fatigue, so you can focus on the weld, not the wheel.


The Continental Line‑Up at WEP

Flap Discs for Metal Grinding (Grit 36 – 120)

  • Premium Zirconia grain for aggressive stock removal and extended disc life.

  • Type 29 conical profile hugs flat and curved surfaces, maximizing contact area.

  • Available in grits 36, 40, 60, 80, 120 to take you from heavy beveling to final blending without a single tool change.

  • 4‑1/2", 5", and 7" diameters in stock.

Pro Tip: Start at 40 grit for rapid scale removal, jump to 60 or 80 for surface prep, and finish with 120 for paint‑ready shine.


T27 Depressed‑Center Grinding Wheels

Size Spec Hub Ideal Use
9" × 1/4" × 5/8" 11 A24R Threaded hub Thick plate, foundry gates
4‑1/2" × 1/4" × 5/8" 11 A24T Threaded hub General fabrication & field weld cleanup

Built on Continental’s T17 fiberglass platform, these wheels remain rigid under heavy pressure while dissipating heat quickly to protect the workpiece.


Masonry Cutting Solutions

Need to slice through block, brick, or pavers? Continental’s silicon‑carbide masonry wheels chew through abrasive mineral substrates while resisting edge glazing—perfect for job‑site chop saws and hand‑held grinders.


Wire Cup Brushes – Clean, Strip, De‑Rust

  • Crimped and knotted styles

  • 2‑3/4", 3", 4" diameters

  • Carbon‑steel and stainless options keep cross‑contamination in check

Use them to chase slag, prepare joints, or strip coatings between passes without damaging the base metal.


T29 Zirconia Standard Disc

When you need the control of a flap disc but the bite of an alumina grain wheel, reach for the T29 Zirconia Standard. Its angled flaps conform to pipe and tube, while the cool‑cut zirconia grain powers through tough alloys.


14" × 1/8" Chop‑Saw Cut‑Off Wheel (Fiberglass Reinforced)

For shop saws up to 5,500 RPM, Continental’s reinforced 14‑inch wheel delivers straight, burr‑free cuts in tube, solids, and structural shapes—hour after hour.
