Buying "Australian Made" flap discs?
Check where they're actually made.

A lot of resellers are slapping a label on cheap East Asian imports and calling it a day — while still expecting Aussie manufacturers to back them. That's not how it works.

Flapmate flap discs are manufactured right here in Sydney, by Workmate Abrasives — nearly 30 years in Australian manufacturing.

If your usual supplier doesn't stock Flapmate, tell them to start — or buy direct from us.

If you want Aussie manufacturing to support you, support Aussie manufacturing.

👉 Buy Flapmate. Buy Australian.

Happy customer alert! 🔧🔥

Dave "the Welda" from Classic Engineering Northern Beaches Pty Ltd sent us this footage of Flapmate doing what it does best — chewing through welds and leaving a clean finish, every pass.

Nothing beats seeing our discs in action on a real job. Thanks for the love, Dave!

When a customer turns sandpaper into art. 🌹

MeshMate customer Matthew Harvie sent us this clip of a rose taking shape, freehand, using our Ceramic Mesh. Look closely at the swirl pattern in the timber — that's all MeshMate doing the work.

This is exactly why we love seeing what our customers create.
Got a MeshMate project of your own? Tag us, we'd love to feature it.

Introducing Hexmate 🔶

Ceramic that cuts fast and lasts longer — and doesn't come in a "one size fits all" box. Hexmate's hexagonal ceramic granules are engineered to stay sharp: as they wear, they continuously break down to reform new sharp edges, so the disc keeps cutting hard instead of glazing over. The hex pattern also creates channels for dust to flow through, cutting down on clogging and keeping temperatures lower than traditional abrasives — for a cooler, faster, longer-lasting cut.

On top of that, we manufacture Hexmate to your exact spec: any sheet shape, any disc size, any dust hole configuration you need on the job.

✅ Self-sharpening ceramic granules for consistent cutting power
✅ Hex channel design reduces clogging and heat build-up
✅ Custom sheet shapes cut to order
✅ Discs made with your dust extraction hole pattern — not just the standard ones
Need a shape or hole pattern the big brands don't carry? We'll make it.
