Flap Wheels

Versatile Abrasive Solutions for Comprehensive Surface Finishing
Flap wheels are essential tools in the surface finishing and polishing processes, known for their flexibility and adaptability to various shapes and contours. Composed of abrasive flaps arranged radially around a hub, these wheels provide a smooth, consistent finish on a wide range of materials, making them ideal for both metalworking and woodworking applications.

Key Features of Flap Wheels
Flexible Abrasive Flaps: The overlapping flaps are made from high-quality abrasive materials, such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or zirconia alumina, ensuring efficient material removal and a consistent finish.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for deburring, cleaning, polishing, and finishing surfaces, flap wheels can handle both flat and contoured surfaces with ease.
Range of Grit Sizes: Available in various grit sizes, from coarse to fine, to meet the specific needs of different finishing tasks.
Durable Construction: Designed for long-lasting performance, these wheels maintain their effectiveness even under continuous use.
How Flap Wheels Work
Flap wheels are mounted on machines such as angle grinders, bench grinders, or hand drills. The flaps wear away gradually, exposing fresh abrasive material, which allows for:
Uniform Material Removal: Provides a consistent finish without over-grinding or damaging the workpiece.
Surface Blending and Polishing: Smooths and polishes surfaces, blending imperfections and achieving a high-quality finish.
Versatility in Application: Capable of handling complex shapes and hard-to-reach areas due to the flexible nature of the flaps.
Applications and Industries Served
Flap wheels are widely used in various industries for a range of finishing and polishing tasks:
Metalworking: Ideal for deburring, rust removal, and surface preparation on metals, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Woodworking: Perfect for sanding and finishing wood surfaces, including intricate carvings and profiles.
Automotive: Used for polishing and finishing automotive parts, ensuring smooth and polished surfaces.
Aerospace: Precision finishing of components requiring high-quality surface standards and smooth finishes.
General Manufacturing: Suitable for finishing plastics, composites, and other materials where smooth, uniform finishes are desired.
