CGW 70088 1-3/16" X 3/16" X 1/8" Shank 120-Grit Straight Aluminum Oxide Mini Flap Wheel

The CGW 70088 mini flap wheel is designed for precision finishing on small or hard-to-reach areas. It features a 1-3/16 inch diameter wheel with a 3/16 inch thickness and a 1/8 inch shank, making it compatible with portable rotary tools for detailed material smoothing and edge cleanup. The wheel uses quality aluminum oxide abrasive grain mounted on a lightweight X-flex backing, which helps maintain cut rate while conforming to curves and contours in the workpiece. The 120-grit designation provides a finer finish suitable for final-pass deburring and polishing tasks on metals and certain non-ferrous materials.

This flap wheel is intended for use on a variety of substrates, including stainless steel, carbon steel and alloyed steels, as well as aluminum, titanium, and even non-ferrous materials and glass in some applications. Its construction aims to balance rigidity with flexibility, allowing the abrasive flaps to conform to rounded features without excessive gouging. Operators should consider rpm compatibility; the product is rated for up to 25,000 RPM, which necessitates using appropriate tool speed controls and guards to ensure safe operation. Proper tool compatibility and workpiece clamping are important to achieve consistent results and protect both the workpiece and the wheel.

Packaging specifies a single-wheel unit with a conventional shank size for universal chuck compatibility, and a box quantity of 10 for stocking and workflow efficiency. When selecting this flap wheel, verify the diameter, thickness, grit, and shank size against your tool’s arbor and the material you’re finishing to ensure the wheel’s abilities align with your project requirements.
