Improved Finish and Dust Control on Radiused and Contoured Parts
A flap wheel comes in handy when you're faced with the challenge of cleaning up burrs and parting lines on radiused or specially shaped parts where coated discs are not conformable enough or do not have the necessary reach. We designed our Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Flexible Flap Wheel with radiused flaps that, compared to our standard Flap Wheel, provide greater flexibility for improved finishing. The radiused flaps also brush dust away from the contact area for a cleaner work environment.We offer our Flexible Flap Wheel in smaller diameters for attachment to hand-held tools, and larger diameters for off-hand applications. Some power tools may require an additional reducer bushing or adapter for attaching the wheel.
A broad selection of grades is available to deburr edges, remove flash and parting lines, blend machine marks, apply a linear scratch pattern, or provide light blending, cleaning, or polishing.
Small Wheels Access Inner Radiuses and Maintain Maximum Control
Our wheels with smaller diameters provide access to smaller and harder-to-access inner radiuses or contours on irregular parts. They are especially useful for deburring or finishing the insides of tubing. For these smaller areas, flexible flap wheels provide a softer touch than rolls or bands, which are suitable when more aggressive material removal is required, and produce a softer finish than standard flap wheels.Our smaller wheels are 1-3˝ in diameter have a 1/4˝ steel mandrel or a 1/4˝-20 threaded steel shank to enable fast yet secure product changeouts. In each case the steel attachment runs the full width of the wheel center, reducing chatter in the rotation. As a result, you get a smoother finish and the operator maintains greater control of the tool with less pressure.
Large Wheels Supply Broader Coverage
For larger hand tools or off-hand applications, we provide flap wheels in diameters from 3-1/2˝ to 8˝ with 1-2˝ widths. These sizes have a 5/8˝ or 1˝ center hole compatible with larger tool arbors. The larger wheels contain more flaps per wheel for faster cutting, increased productivity and longer life.Durable Wheel, Fast Cut
Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its versatility on different surfaces, fast cut-rate and long life. It is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives such as garnet quickly wear down with use. Aluminum oxide mineral is suitable for a wide variety of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals.Quality Standard Abrasives™ Products for Industrial Applications
The Standard Abrasives brand has supplied quality abrasives to the metalworking industry for over 50 years. Customers rely on our broad offering of high performance products including coated, bonded, and non-woven abrasive lines.Standard Abrasives Model
The Standard Abrasives A/O Flexible Flap Wheel 661426 is designed for efficient finishing and deburring. This model features aluminum oxide abrasive that cuts quickly and works well on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, ensuring versatility in many applications.
With its flexible flap design, this wheel adapts to flat and contoured surfaces, providing a consistent linear scratch pattern. The 6 in x 1 in x 1 in dimensions make it suitable for a variety of tasks requiring precision and control.
Flexible Flap Wheel Benefits
Flexible flaps on this flap wheel provide excellent finishing on inner diameters and contours, making it ideal for cleaning and deburring radiused or irregular parts. The design helps brush dust away from the contact area, improving the work environment.
This flap wheel is available in a 5 ea/Case pack size, allowing for multiple uses and easy replacement. Its flexibility and size make it a reliable choice for both hand-held and off-hand tool applications.
Dimensions And Sizes
The flap wheel measures 6 inches in diameter, with a 1 inch width and 1 inch arbor hole, fitting many standard tool arbors. These dimensions provide broad coverage for larger surfaces while maintaining control for detailed work.
Smaller diameters are also offered for tight inner radiuses, but this specific 6 in x 1 in x 1 in size balances reach and control, making it suitable for various metalworking tasks requiring precision and finish quality.
Grade And Abrasive Quality
This product uses an 80 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, known for its fast cutting ability and durability. Aluminum oxide self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, extending the wheel’s life compared to traditional abrasives like garnet.
The 80 grit grade is effective for deburring edges, removing flash, and smoothing parting lines on metal parts. It offers a good balance between aggressive material removal and a smooth finish.
Case Pack And Usage
The flap wheels come in a pack of 5 ea/Case, providing enough quantity for ongoing projects or multiple operators. This pack size supports consistent workflow without frequent reordering.
Designed for industrial use, these flap wheels are compatible with various power tools, though some may require adapters. The 1 inch arbor size ensures compatibility with many standard tool setups for easy installation.
