The processing of fillet welds places high demands on precision, material removal and surface quality. Specialized tools are indispensable for optimally smoothing welded joints, removing weld spatter and achieving an even surface.

Lukas-Erzett offers professional solutions with the U-Edge Pro fillet weld sanding disc, the V2 Edge CeramicAd sanding disc and the SLTflex CeramicAd sanding disc. With these tools, good results can be achieved quickly, precisely and efficiently during fillet weld processing.

Efficient fillet weld processing

With more than 85 years of experience in the development and production of high-quality tools and special solutions for milling, grinding, polishing, cutting, drilling and cleaning, the tool manufacturer Lukas-Erzett also offers its customers first-class, efficient solutions for fillet weld processing. This is because fillet weld seams, edges and adjacent surfaces only achieve the desired quality through precise finishing.
Typical fillet welds are often found on T-joints, corner joints and overlap joints, where two metal parts meet at a certain angle and are joined by welding. As fillet joints have to withstand heavy loads, precise finishing is crucial in order to remove unevenness and weld spatter and create a smooth surface. Processing the transition areas between two surfaces of a workpiece, the edges, is also very important. This is because edges are deburred, rounded or chamfered through targeted grinding in order to improve the stability and safety of the components.

According to Lukas-Erzett, the fillet weld sanding disc U-Edge Pro, the V2 Edge CeramicAd sanding disc and the SLTflex CeramicAd sanding disc cover all relevant areas of application when sanding fillet welds and adjacent surfaces and edges. Whether precision, flexibility or robustness is required, the fillet weld grinding discs make professional finishing effortless and ensure precise, smooth and resilient welded joints.

Greater precision and efficiency when processing fillet welds

As a solution for the precise grinding of fillet welds, the U-Edge Pro grinding disc from Lukas-Erzett is set to set new standards in the processing of weld seams – making the use of roughing and grinding discs for the processing of weld seams superfluous. In contrast to conventional grinding tools, the grinding surface of the Lukas grinding disc U-Edge Pro is not located on the flat side, but on the edge (face) of the disc. This enables precise, pinpoint processing of fillet weld seams as well as tight corners, edges and small surfaces.

Whether for overgrinding, grinding during correction welding, cleaning, paint stripping or visual improvement – the radial grinding surface on the wheel makes the Lukas U-Edge Pro fillet weld grinder a possible solution for applications that require high precision. Another advantage of the U-Edge Pro is the integrated edge protection, which reliably protects the workpiece from damage.
Thanks to multiple wound abrasive cloths, the patented U-Edge Pro offers a long service life and consistent results right down to the last abrasive grain. The U-Edge Pro fillet weld grinding disc from Lukas-Erzett is available in different grit sizes and is suitable for processing steel, alloyed/tempered steels, cast iron and titanium as well as aluminum and other non-ferrous metals/alloys, for example.

Completing demanding work on surfaces, edges and fillet welds flexibly, precisely and efficiently

The Lukas V2 Edge abrasive flap disc with CeramicAd has been developed for the toughest applications, especially for hardened and tempered steels, scale surfaces and coated surfaces. In use, the V2 Edge with CeramicAd is designed to impress with its long service life paired with precision and high removal rate.

The special feature of the V2 Edge with CeramicAd is its design with the extra-large flap projection of the patented sickle-shaped flaps. As a result, this abrasive flap disc offers the option of sanding with both the flat side and the face side. In other words, the Lukas-V2 Edge with CeramicAd also enables the precise processing of complex geometries and hard-to-access shapes such as fillet weld seams.
In addition, work such as cleaning surfaces or chamfering edges can also be carried out precisely and efficiently without changing tools. The multi-layered abrasive coating of the V2 Edge with CeramicAd ensures that the flaps are always as sharp as when they were first used – fresh abrasive flaps are exposed when worn, which ensures consistent quality and a long service life. Vibrations and noise emissions reduced by 50 percent, high stability and flexibility as well as high break resistance are further advantages of the V2 Edge with CeramicAd for fillet weld grinding.

For demanding work on uneven surfaces and hard-to-reach areas

The Lukas SLTflex CeramicAd abrasive flap disc with CeramicAd abrasive offers great flexibility and good removal rates when working on hard-to-reach areas and uneven surfaces of materials such as steel, alloyed/tempered steels and cast steel.
The SLTflex CeramicAd abrasive flap disc can be used radially and on the face side – and is therefore also very suitable for the precise sanding of fillet welds. The small resin core of the SLTflex CeramicAd with practical M14 thread enables a large flap protrusion and ensures that the abrasive flap disc is flexible and easy to handle.

The SLTflex CeramicAd is also characterized by its patented sickle blade shape and arrangement. This leads to a 50 percent reduction in noise and vibrations, which enables faster and more precise work with better surface results. The multi-layer abrasive coating ensures a long service life, consistently sharp flaps and enables a homogeneous grinding pattern even when used on the face side.
In short: The flexibility of use, high precision and long service life make the Lukas-SLTflex CeramicAd an alternative to conventional grinding wheels, especially when it comes to processing fillet welds and high demands on surface quality.
