Flap Wheel Sanders are a form of rotating tools that can be used on a grinder. The name for these tools comes from their strips (or flaps) of abrasive material that radiate from a central hub. The flaps are secured to the hub, usually by adhesive that bonds them together and to the hub. Tasks that flap wheels are used for include de-nibbing, edge breaking, proper stain application, and sanding. Instead of manual sanding, do it with flap wheels and reduce the time and effort spent on this task. You will see that these tools are especially useful and effective when used for sanding items with contours or profiles. Flap wheels are so flexible that they can handle fine sanding without putting burns or white lines on an item’s finish. The quality produced when flap wheels are used in sanding is impressive because they are designed to give consistent results.
