The Definition of Non-Woven Flap Wheels

Non-woven surface finishing flap wheels are an ideal choice for a wide variety of blending and finishing applications common in the metal fabrication, welding and polishing industries. Flap wheels are conformable to intricate shapes and contours. Designed to deliver a consistent finish with a uniform rate of cut, flap wheels wear away continually exposing fresh abrasives. 

There are mainly two types of non woven flap wheels: non-woven only abrasive flaps where finishing is the primary application, and interleaf with alternating cloth and non-woven abrasive flaps (less conformable, more aggressive) for stock removal and finishing. Interleaf flap wheels must always be run in the direction indicated by the arrow.

Applications: Used for a wide range of metal fabrication and welding applications including blending, deburring, cleaning, finishing, and polishing.
