The special-shaped Flap Wheel is made of coated abrasive and the fins are arranged radially around the tool axis in a special shape, such as the pencil grinder flap wheel, interleaf flap wheel, and rotary tool flap wheel.

Their flexibility allows mounted flap wheels to be perfectly adapted to the contours of the workpiece.

Grit Size

40#, 60#, 80#, 100#, 120#, 150#, 180#, 240#, 320#, 400#, 600# (dimensions smaller then 15mm starts with 80#)

Raw Material

Coated Abrasive Clothes, Silicon Carbide, Aluminium Oxide, and Ceramic combined, Zirconia, etc, with different brands, e.g. Klingspor, Sait, Deerfos, NCA, 3M, etc)

Types Of Flap Wheel (Special Shape)

By Shape

By Material

By Size

Aluminum Oxide Special Shape Flap Wheel (AO)

Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting e

Silicon Carbide Special Shape Flap Wheel (SC)

For general grinding of parts made of aluminum, copper, bronze, titanium and fiber reinforced plastics.Especially recommended for titanium alloys.It is very suitable for the aviation industry, especia

Working Principle of Flap Wheel (Special Shape)

Reducing wear and thermal load of the workpiece can be achieved by reducing contact pressure and speed (abrasive paste/oil can be used when appropriate)

In order to avoid unnecessary tool wear and thermal load, choose to switch to coarser-grit abrasive clothes instead of increasing contact pressure to increase cutting force

Increasing the cutting speed achieves a slightly finer surface.

Increasing the contact pressure makes the surface slightly more coarse and if you use the same grit size on soft or hard material the surface finish will look coarse on the softer material.
