The CGW 36216 flap wheel is a 3 inch diameter, 2 inch wide, 1/4 inch shank interleaf wheel designed for versatile surface preparation. It combines alternating flaps of non-woven material with coated abrasive, delivering fast material removal with a more uniform finish. The wheel uses aluminum oxide abrasive grains and is suitable for preparing and finishing aluminum and stainless steels, as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The maroon medium grade and 80-grit specification indicate a balanced blend of aggressiveness and finishing capability, making it a practical choice for cleaning, blending, deburring, and satin finishing tasks where consistent surface texture is important.
Constructed as a straight interleaf flap design, this wheel maintains a stable cut and predictable swarf removal during use. The combination of non-woven and coated abrasive layers helps to reduce gouging while progressively refining the surface. The 20,000 RPM maximum operating speed supports high-speed tooling environments, enabling efficient processing on metal workpieces when used with compatible rotary tools and flanges. The 1/4 inch shank allows compatibility with a range of mandrels and automated or manual finishing setups, while the 3 x 2 inch dimensions provide a compact footprint for access to tight or contoured areas.
This product is offered in a package size of individual wheels, with a box quantity of 10, which is convenient for stocking and routine maintenance programs. When selecting this flap wheel, verify the workpiece material and required surface finish to ensure the 80-grit aluminum oxide wheel meets your finishing goals. Proper routing and tool speed, along with appropriate safety practices, will help maximize the wheel’s performance and life.
