Applications of Flap Wheels

The uniform flap structure of flap wheels has many advantages when working with specific metals. Because this style can bend or conform to almost any workpiece shape, it's ideal for hard-to-reach areas. By allowing for even wear around the whole wheel, the individual flap arrangement ensures high performance and long product life.

Applications of Flap Disc Wheel

Some of the most popular applications for flap wheels include:

• The mixing of the edges is one of the most critical aspects of the flap wheel.

• Preparing the Surface for Painting.

• Cleaning the cylinder's interior.

• Reconditioning of parts and fibers.

• Polishing, blending, and finishing are all part of the process.

• After machining, when deburring is needed.

Flap Wheels for Aluminum

Since aluminum has a lower melting point than other metals, melting it is much smoother. Using a T29 conical disc at a 15-degree angle to provide the best surface contact when cutting aluminum wire stock. To obtain a clean surface or a smooth finish, use a T27 flat disc.

Flap Wheels for Wood

Flap discs are an excellent tool for working with wood. The flap discs designed for use on the wood are the same as those designed for use on metal. Alumina grits may be useful in the woodworking industry.

Flap Wheels for Paint Removal

Nonwoven flap discs are particularly useful for scraping paint and rust. Nonwoven flap discs or ones containing alumina are often used to strip paint or rust. These discs, like other flap discs, can grind and finish in one step while maintaining a consistent and smooth grind.

Flap Wheels for Cement and Concrete

Carbide or diamond flap discs are used for active stock removal on concrete. Carbide and diamond are two of the most rigid structures on the planet. These discs assist you in calculating on concrete without exerting any of your power.

The rigid backings on these flap wheels allow them to be used on a variety of surfaces, including artificial earth, granite, marble, and ceramics.
