The flexible cloth flaps deliver a controlled grinding action while minimizing heat build-upβmaking them safe and effective for extended use. Engineered with aluminium oxide abrasive and durable cloth backing, these flap wheels are a staple for metal workshops, woodworkers, and fabricators needing reliable finishing tools for stationary machines. β Key Features: Compatible with stationary rotating shaft machines: bench grinders, lathes, and polishing mills Mounted using rigid centre holes with appropriate clamping flanges Constructed with aluminium oxide abrasive flaps on a durable cloth backing Suitable for metal, wood, and composite materials Delivers gentle grinding and satin finishing with low heat generation Available in a range of sizes and grits to suit various finishing tasks π οΈ Ideal Applications: De-burring and removing cut marks on stainless steel, mild steel & alloys Edge rounding on fabricated parts or wooden profiles Smoothing & surface preparation prior to painting or polishing Removing coatings, oxidation, and light surface rust Final finishing pass for bright metal finishes and fine wood grains π Specifications: Abrasive Material: Aluminium oxide Backing: Cloth-backed flaps for durability and flexibility Mounting: Rigid centre hole for use with flanged shaft mounts on parallel rotating shafts Compatible with suitable shaft-mounted lathes and polishers Available Diameters & Max Speeds: 165mm β Max: 5,700 RPM 200mm β Max: 3,000 RPM 250mm β Max: 2,800 RPM β οΈ Always mount using appropriate safety flanges and ensure your machine operates within the recommended speed range.
π§ Grit Selection Guide:
Coarse Grit (e.g., 40β60):
Removes material, rounds edges, shapes metal and wood
Medium Grit (e.g., 80β120):
Ideal for de-burring, scratch removal, and prepping surfaces
Fine Grit (e.g., 180β240):
Leaves a bright metal finish and smooth wood surfaces
π‘ Pro Tips:
Use coarser grits for stock removal, finer grits for final finishing
Maintain a steady hand and even pressure when working against the wheel
Clean wheels with compressed air to extend lifespan and cut consistency
Always wear eye protection and gloves when using rotating machinery
