The CGW 36218 flap wheel is a 3" diameter, 2" wide wheel designed for straight, inline use with a 1/4" shank. This interleaf flap wheel alternates between non-woven and coated abrasive plies, delivering a balanced blend of material removal and finish quality. The wheel is specified for very fine finishing when used on aluminum and stainless steels, as well as other ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it suitable for satin-type finishes and light deburring tasks on mixed-metal workpieces.
Constructed with aluminum oxide abrasive and a 80/fine grit, the wheel provides a consistent cut rate while promoting a uniform surface texture. Operating at up to 20,000 RPM, it supports rapid material removal and refinement in applications where a controlled satin or brushed appearance is desired. The interleaf architecture helps manage heat buildup and clogging, contributing to a steadier finish during extended use.
Practical use scenarios include finishing aluminum components, stainless steel fittings, and other metal assemblies where a delicate touch is required to avoid gouging. The 1/4" shank supports compatibility with compatible small- to mid-sized random orbit or spindle tools. Each wheel is packaged as an individual item, with a box quantity typically aligned to the packaging requirements of CGW products. When selecting, ensure the shank size and wheel diameter match your tool and the desired surface quality for the job at hand.
