Discover VELO MINI – an innovative diamond flap disc in a compact 50 mm size
Designed for the precision machining of the hardest ceramic and stone materials. This micro-scale solution combines:
- Aggressive and extremely precise diamond grinding,
- A lightweight, digitally balanced aluminum body,
- Maximum stability, ergonomics and operational safety,
- Direct mounting on mini grinders (FIXY and other models available on the market).
FERRATi VELO MINI was created for professionals who expect perfect detail finishing without chipping, vibrations or compromises in hard-to-reach areas.
100% Premium Diamond Flap Construction
The heart of the VELO MINI 50 mm flap disc is a dense arrangement of overlapping abrasive flaps with a premium-quality hexagonal diamond coating. The absence of traditional abrasive additives guarantees uncompromising cutting performance on the hardest materials and exceptional tool life down to the very last gram of diamond.
Benefits of the Honeycomb Technology
- Stable vibration-free operation: Micro gaps in the hexagonal structure eliminate disc bouncing and ensure exceptionally smooth guidance along the edge of the material, which is crucial at the very high speeds of mini grinders.
- Efficient dust extraction: Ventilation channels, assisted by centrifugal force, immediately remove grinding dust outward, preventing clogging and maintaining maximum cutting efficiency.
- Lower operating temperature: The reduced continuous friction area limits overheating of the tile glaze and minimizes the risk of burn marks.
Why Choose VELO MINI?
- Vibration-free aluminum body: Unlike plastic discs, the aluminum core does not deform under high temperatures, eliminates micro vibrations and ensures perfect balance. The disc remains exceptionally stable even during the most demanding precision work.
- Direct 6 mm mounting: The internal bore diameter is precisely 6 mm, ensuring perfect centering and compatibility with mini grinders from all leading brands (e.g. FIXY and similar models).
- Maximum safety at 25,000 RPM: The aluminum base does not crack if the tool is accidentally dropped and does not develop microfractures. According to the factory specifications shown on the label, it maintains full structural strength at maximum speeds of 25,000 RPM and a peripheral speed of 80 m/s.
- Aluminum heat sink: The VELO MINI body acts as a heat sink, rapidly dissipating heat from the micro-grinding area and protecting the diamond bond from overheating.
Applications
- Precision 45° micro-beveling: Ideal for creating sharp edges, removing micro chips and working on rectified porcelain tiles in confined spaces (e.g. shower niches and shelves).
- Quartz sintered stone and large-format slabs: VELO MINI minimizes vibration and material stress, allowing safe beveling, edge leveling and machining of delicate 3 mm and 5 mm slabs in corner areas.
- Porcelain tile chamfering: The flap disc is ideal for breaking sharp edges, creating technical chamfers and achieving an aesthetic edge finish before grouting. It does not damage the decorative glaze.
- Natural stone processing: Excellent for granite, marble, quartzite and engineered stone. Suitable for precise profile correction, surface preparation before polishing and removing saw marks.
- Grinding curves and openings: The flap construction allows comfortable grinding with the face of the disc. It is perfect for correcting small openings (e.g. for faucets and electrical outlets), grinding radii and adjusting custom cut-outs.
- Calibration and flash removal: Allows quick removal of factory flash from the underside, tile correction and precise dry removal of excess material without the need to operate large water-cooled machines.
Grit Range
The flap disc is available in a complete system of three grit sizes, allowing the entire machining process to be carried out from rough shaping to finishing:
- #60 – Red (aggressive shaping): Fast removal of excess material, forming small curves, removing flash and creating initial bevels on hard materials.
- #120 – Green (universal grinding and beveling): The most versatile grit for 45° beveling, cleaning cut lines and everyday finishing work. Produces a perfectly straight and clean edge.
- #200 – Blue (satin finish): Designed for final smoothing, finishing visible edges and preparing surfaces for epoxy grout. Leaves a silky-smooth surface similar to the factory finish.
