MACHINES USED FLAP WHEELS CATEGORY DEFINITION Flap wheels are an ideal choice for a wide variety of blending, deburring and finishing applications common in the metal fabrication, welding and polishing industries. Flap wheels are conformable to intricate shapes and contours. Designed to deliver a consistent finish with a uniform rate of cut, flap wheels wear away, continually exposing fresh abrasives. APPLICATIONS: Used for a wide range of metal fabrication and welding applications including stock removal, blending, deburring, cleaning, finishing, and polishing SIZE RANGE: Flap Wheels with mounted steel shanks: 3/8" - 3" diameter Flap Wheels with mounted 1/4-20 thread: 1" - 3" diameter Flap Wheels with arbor holes: 3" - 16" diameter GRIT RANGE: 40 - 320 ABRASIVE GRAIN: Ceramic Alumina/Aluminum Oxide, Aluminum Oxide SHAPE RECOMMENDATION GUIDE SHAPE DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION Flap Wheels with Mounted Steel Shanks Wheels are designed with a 1/8" or 1/4" steel shank as an integral part of each wheel. These shanks run through the wheel creating better balance, a reduction of chatter, and reduced operator fatigue. They also permit quick changes on air tools when using other abrasive products. Flap Wheels with Mounted 1/4-20 Thread Wheels are designed with a 1/4"-20 thread and flange as an integral part of the wheel. These threads facilitate the quickest changes on air tools using flap wheels exclusively, as there are no special tools needed to change the flap wheel. Also allow extended reach with accessory mandrels. Flap Wheels with Arbor Holes For use on larger portable and fixed-base tools where the wheel must fit on an existing arbor.
