The Benefits of Flap Wheel Construction

The 3M™ Flap Wheel 244E is designed with abrasive flaps attached to a steel core filled with resin. This unique construction minimizes the risk of chatter and marks. The flaps rotate centrifugally and make continuous contact with the workpiece, eliminating residual traces or marks left by singular discs or discs ganged on a shaft. The abrasive flaps provide a long-lasting supply of fresh mineral and a load-resistant design. As the flaps spin, they remove unwanted swarf and debris from the substrate, leaving a smooth, brushed finish. The 3M™ Flap Wheel 244E can be used with various tools, including a backstand, match and finish sander, and a centerless grinder.

Cuts Sharp, Leaves a Fine Finish

The flaps on the 3M™ Flap Wheel 244E are made with aluminum oxide mineral. Aluminum oxide is a popular choice in grinding applications due to its cut-rate and long life. Its hardness, strength, and low heat retention make it ideal for industrial professionals. The wheel is available in grades 60-120, allowing operators to choose the right grade for their specific project. Coarser grades (60) are suitable for substrates that require a deeper scratch, while finer grades (120) are ideal for substrates that require a soft, fine scratch. The mineral is bonded to the flaps with resin, which gradually dissolves as the wheel spins, helping the abrasive withstand heat and maintain its strength. The abrasives flaps on the 3M™ Flap Wheel 244E have an XE-weight rayon backing, providing flexibility and resistance to edge wear.

Resulting in Fine, Brushed Finishes

When it comes to descaling, setting the grain, refining, or blending workpieces, it is crucial to have an abrasive that can withstand wear and tear without compromising part geometry. The 3M™ Flap Wheel 244E is specifically designed to produce fine, brushed finishes on soft metals, ensuring high-quality results.
