Abrasive Flap Wheel

Abrasive flap wheels are tools used for grinding, polishing, and finishing surfaces. They consist of multiple overlapping abrasive flaps that are mounted on a central hub. These flaps are made from various abrasive materials such as aluminum oxide, zirconia alumina, or silicon carbide.

The flap wheels are designed to be used with power tools such as angle grinders or bench grinders. They are commonly used for deburring, removing rust or paint, blending welds, and achieving a smooth finish on metal, wood, or plastic surfaces.

Abrasive flap wheels are available in different sizes and grits, allowing users to choose the appropriate wheel for their specific application. The grit size refers to the coarseness or fineness of the abrasive particles on the flaps. Lower grit numbers indicate a coarser abrasive, while higher grit numbers indicate a finer abrasive.

These wheels are part of the supply class "Disks And Stones, Abrasive" in the supply group "Hardware And Abrasives." They are commonly found in hardware stores, industrial supply shops, and online retailers. When purchasing abrasive flap wheels, it is important to consider the desired grit size, wheel diameter, and the material being worked on to ensure optimal performance.
