Flap Wheels

The right tool for so many applications

​

An abrasive flap wheel made by Klingspor is a popular choice across a wide variety of applications. These include

• Removing paint, varnish, or filler

• Grinding fillet welds

• Deburring operations,

• Removal of heat tinting

• Rust removal on steel

​

The abrasive mop wheels, small abrasive mops (also referred to as mounted wheels), or satin finishing drums also demonstrate their versatility when it comes to the equipment with which they can be paired. This equipment includes such machines as

• The floor-standing grinder

• The die grinder

• The flexible shaft

• The angle grinder

• The satin finishing and the drilling machine

​

Leaving nothing to be desired, the exhaustive selection is sure to hold abrasive mop wheels that can be combined with machines used in industrial enterprises, metal workshops, or handicraft businesses and in do-it-yourself applications.

​

If the machine is not equipped with speed control, the selection of the product must be made based on the specified speed. Klingspor has these machines covered as well and offers abrasive mop wheels that will operate in the optimum range.

​

These properties are typical of abrasive flap wheels.

​

Just as all other abrasives made by Klingspor, the abrasive mop wheels will produce scratch patterns that are one of a kind and marked by long, continuous grain patterns in the treated surface. Scratch marks left by the processing with the abrasive flap will be minimal, making the finish particularly smooth. It is therefore possible to use these products for professional surface refinement that will live up to the highest standards.

​

When selecting abrasive flap wheels, small abrasive flap wheels, or satin finishing drums, you need to take the following into account: Their design lets abrasive mop wheels inherently produce a finer finish compared to abrasive belts. Stock removal and finishing can therefore be combined in one work step. If you wish to achieve a stock removal rate that is comparable to that of an abrasive belt, the experts at Klingspor recommend that you pick an abrasive flap with a grit that is two to three times coarser.
