About Flap Wheel
Since our inception in year 2010, we have been engaged in supplying of Flap Wheel. This wheel is best suited to be used for metal finishing purpose. Offered wheel is made of multiple overlapping flaps bonded to a central hub. This wheel consists of separate flaps that each attack workpiece surface at a slightly different angle that avoids repeated identical scratches. Available in different specification, provided Flap Wheel can be purchased from us at market leading prices.
Key Points:
- Wheel remains useful even as flaps erode
- Owing to its flexibility it provides smoothing curved work
- Gives Smooth finish to curved surfaces
We have available size in flap wheel are 150x25x15.88 (Wooden Bush) with Grits #60,80,120,150,240,320,400
Versatile Abrasive Tool for Multiple ApplicationsThis flap wheel is perfect for a range of industrial applications, including deburring, finishing, surface preparation, and rust removal. Its compatibility with various materials makes it a flexible option for fabricators, metalworkers, carpenters, and plastic artisans. The wheel's adaptability across bench and angle grinders enables smooth workflow integration.
Designed for Efficiency and PrecisionWith a medium cutting force and standard cutting accuracy, the flap wheel ensures optimal results in both light and medium-duty operations. The abrasive grit coating delivers consistent finishes, while the design promotes high stock removal, making surface restoration and preparation tasks more efficient.
FAQ's of Flap Wheel:
Q: How do you properly mount the flap wheel with a 15.85 mm bore size?
A: To mount the flap wheel, ensure the central hole aligns precisely with the shaft or arbor of your bench grinder or angle grinder. Secure the wheel using suitable mounting hardware recommended by the machine manufacturer. Always verify that the setup is balanced before use to prevent vibration and ensure operator safety.
Q: What materials can be processed using this flap wheel?
A: This flap wheel is compatible with metals, wood, and plastics. Its flexible abrasive cloth and robust aluminum oxide grit make it suitable for diverse industrial finishing, surface preparation, and removal of rust or burrs on various substrates.
Q: When should I use a particular grit size for my application?
A: Choose a coarser grit for faster material removal during heavy deburring or rust removal, and a finer grit for achieving smoother finishes or preparation before painting and coating. The grit size selection depends on the desired surface texture and the specific task requirements.
Q: Where is the best setting to use this flap wheel?
A: This industrial flap wheel is ideally used in manufacturing facilities, workshops, and repair shops where bench or angle grinders are available. It is suited for environments requiring consistent finishing quality and reliable abrasive performance.
Q: What benefits does the aluminum oxide (Alox) coating provide?
A: The aluminum oxide coating offers enhanced cutting efficiency, durability, and a longer service life. This helps in maintaining a uniform finish and ensures high stock removal rates across multiple uses, reducing downtime for tool replacement.
Q: How can I maximize the lifespan of the flap wheel?
A: Operate the wheel within the recommended maximum RPM of up to 8500 and avoid applying excessive pressure. Use the correct mounting method and match the wheel to the job's cutting capacity. Regularly inspect the wheel for wear and damage to ensure safe and prolonged use.
Q: What kind of finishing process does this flap wheel provide?
A: This wheel delivers an abrasive finishing process, offering medium hardness and flexibility for a consistent finish. It is designed for rotary operations, providing efficient material removal while leaving surfaces smooth and ready for further processing or coating.
