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 661626 is designed for fast, efficient cutting with aluminum oxide abrasive. This model suits both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, making it versatile for many metalworking tasks.
Its flexible flap design helps clean and deburr inner diameters and contours, providing a smooth finish on radiused or contoured parts. The 6 in x 2 in x 1 in size fits a variety of applications requiring precision and control.
Flexible Flap Wheel Benefits
Flexible flaps on this flap wheel provide excellent finishing on flat and contoured surfaces, producing a linear scratch pattern that enhances the appearance of the workpiece. This feature improves dust control by brushing dust away from the contact area.
These radiused flaps offer greater flexibility compared to standard flap wheels, making them ideal for cleaning burrs and parting lines on irregularly shaped parts. The 5 ea per case pack size ensures you have enough wheels for multiple projects.
Dimensions And Sizes
The flap wheel measures 6 inches in diameter, 2 inches in width, and 1 inch in thickness, providing broad coverage for larger hand tools or off-hand applications. This size allows for consistent finishing on various workpieces.
Smaller diameters are available for hand-held tools, but this 6-inch wheel is perfect for tasks requiring a balance of reach and control. The steel mandrel reduces chatter, resulting in a smoother finish and better operator control.
Grade And Abrasive Quality
This flap wheel uses 80-grit aluminum oxide, a durable abrasive known for its fast cut rate and long life. Aluminum oxide self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, making it suitable for a wide range of materials including metals.
The 80-grit grade is ideal for deburring edges, removing flash, and blending machine marks. It provides a balance between aggressive material removal and a fine finish, enhancing productivity and surface quality.
Industrial Use And Packaging
Standard Abrasives has supplied quality abrasives for over 50 years, and this flap wheel continues that tradition with reliable performance in industrial applications. The 5 ea per case pack size supports efficient inventory management.
These flap wheels are compatible with various power tools, though some may require adapters or reducer bushings. Their design ensures long life and consistent results, making them a trusted choice for metalworking professionals.
