Flap Griding Wheel

A flap disc is a versatile abrasive tool used in various metalworking and woodworking applications. It consists of overlapping abrasive flaps attached radially to a central hub. These flaps are made from abrasive cloth or paper that is coated with abrasive material such as aluminum oxide, zirconia alumina, ceramic, or other abrasives.

The design of the flap disc allows for efficient material removal while providing a smoother finish compared to traditional grinding wheels or sanding discs. They come in different sizes, grits, and materials, catering to various surface finishing needs.

Flap discs are commonly used for tasks like deburring, grinding, blending, and finishing on metals, wood, plastic, and other materials. They are adaptable to different angles and contours, making them suitable for shaping and finishing irregular surfaces.

These discs are typically mounted on angle grinders or other compatible tools using a threaded arbor or a quick-change mechanism. Users can select specific flap discs based on the material being worked on, the required finish, and the level of aggressiveness needed for the task at hand.
