RotoZip unveils ZipDiscs

RotoZip has expanded its line of accessories with the introduction of two fast removal and finishing discs. The new ZipDiscs include two 4-in. abrasive wheels, Medium and Coarse, which are designed for the fast removal of coatings and imperfections from metal, wood and concrete.

ZipDiscs can remove stain from a wooden deck, rust from metal or paint from a concrete surface, and only light pressure is required. They feature an integrated solid metal backing, which increases durability and the life of the accessory. This also makes ZipDiscs less susceptible to melting or breakage after prolonged use. Both discs also include an anti-clog design, which protects the discs from excess build-up during difficult coating removals.

The Coarse ZipDisc features a nonwoven, silicon carbide abrasive design that removes paint, rust, corrosion, blemishes, mastic, thin-set and adhesive from wood, metal and concrete. The disc operates up to 13,000 RPM. 

The Medium ZipDisc operates up to 15,000 RPM, and is optimized for removing paint, rust, corrosion and blemishes. The 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive is made up of 85 strips of layered flap material for longer life.

Both ZipDiscs are compatible with the ZipSaw Multi Saw and Spiral+ tools that use the ZipMate attachment. They will be available in home center stores for purchase by November 2012.
