Product Spotlight: FLAP WHEELS & BELTS
FLAP WHEELS
Small abrasive flaps are projected and bonded to a central hub to create Flap Wheels. Available in mounted or unmounted, Flap Wheels are designed for light finishing, deburring, and flash removal. Most wheels are X-weight aluminum oxide cotton cloth. Exceptions to this would be J-weight cloth for increased flexibility, and silicon carbide for special applications.
Mounted flap wheels are available with a ⅛” or ¼” straight shank or a ¼-20″ male threaded shank. They are generally 3” or less in diameter and used on portable tools.
Unmounted flap wheels flaps radiate outwards from a central core, have an arbor hole, and are mounted onto a spindle with flanges. They are 4″+ in diameter and used on stationary tools.
ARC’s flap wheels add additional margin to your bottom line with their exceptional value-to-performance ratio.
