The drum and flap sander is manufactured in medium hardness with synthetic resin bonded aluminum oxide abrasive cloth for general deburring, sanding, cleaning, and finishing. Flap wheel drum sander can be used for universal work on medium-sized and large metallic surfaces. Contact us for more information of flap drum sander and other mounted flap wheels!

By Size

Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel Drum (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 Flap Wheel Drum (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

Flap Wheel Drum Sander Working Principle

The mounted flap wheel  can reduce 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.

The flap drum is with high elasticity, good synchronous consumption, suitable for a variety of plane, curved surface and corner polishing.
