VSM 126057 – VSM 3" x 1" x 1/4" Flap Wheel, 40 Grit Aluminum Oxide (10/Box)

Description

VSM 126057 Flap Wheel, 3 x 1 x 1/4 Inch, 40 Grit

The VSM 126057 is a 3 x 1 x 1/4 inch flap wheel with 40 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, sold in a box of 10. Layered abrasive flaps give a consistent, coarse cut for deburring, blending, cleaning and surface preparation.

Features and Specifications

• Size: 3 inch diameter, 1 inch face width
• Mount: 1/4 inch shank
• Grit: 40, a coarse cut for rust, scale and burr removal
• Abrasive: aluminum oxide
• Flaps: bonded to a flexible X-weight cloth backing
• Pack: box of 10

How It Works

As the flaps wear, fresh abrasive is exposed, so the wheel keeps cutting at a steady rate through its life. The flaps flex to follow edges, holes and curved surfaces, which makes a flap wheel a good fit for blending and deburring work that a rigid wheel would gouge.

Who Uses It

Metal fabricators, woodworkers and maintenance shops use the VSM 126057 on a die grinder or other rotary tool to deburr, blend and finish metals, wood and plastics, and to remove rust, scale and other surface contaminants.

Tips for Best Results

Run the wheel at or below the speed rating of the tool and the wheel, and let it reach speed before it touches the work. Use light pressure and keep the wheel moving to avoid flat spots and heat. Follow 40 grit with a finer grit when you need a smoother finish. Wear eye and face protection, and replace the wheel when the flaps wear down near the core. Check the shank or mount for bends before each use, since an out-of-true wheel vibrates and wears unevenly.
