Flap wheels are abrasive tools that are used in metalworking, woodworking, and other industries for various applications, such as deburring, blending, and finishing. They consist of multiple flaps of abrasive material arranged around a central hub, which can be mounted onto a spindle for use with a handheld or stationary tool. Flap wheels offer several benefits over other abrasive tools, including versatility, uniformity, and durability. One of the key benefits of flap wheels is their versatility. They can be used on a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and woods, making them suitable for various applications. They are available in a range of grits, allowing for precision work and a smooth finish. They can also be used on irregular or curved surfaces, providing a consistent and uniform result. Flap wheels also offer uniformity in the grinding and finishing process. The overlapping flaps of abrasive material provide a consistent finish, reducing the risk of gouging or scratching the surface being worked on. This uniformity also ensures that the surface finish is even and smooth, making flap wheels ideal for final finishing applications. Another benefit of flap wheels is their durability. They have a longer lifespan compared to other abrasive tools, such as grinding wheels or sandpaper, reducing the need for frequent replacements. They can also withstand higher pressures and provide a more aggressive cut than other abrasive tools, making them suitable for heavy‑duty applications.
