CGW 36451 1" X 1" X 1/4" Shank Maroon Medium Non-Woven Surface Conditioning Flap Wheel

CGW 36451 is a 1 inch by 1 inch by 1/4 inch shank maroon medium non-woven surface conditioning flap wheel designed for lightweight finishing and surface conditioning on small-diameter workpaths. The wheel uses 100% non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive material, which provides flexible conformity to contours and irregular surfaces while delivering consistent material removal. This flap wheel is offered in multiple grades (coarse, medium, fine), and the listed medium grade is suitable for general conditioning tasks that require balanced cut rate and surface finish. The included shank enables direct attachment to compatible power tools, supporting rapid changes in workstation setups where small, precise grinding and finishing are required.

This product’s construction centers on a non-woven abrasive media bonded around a central hub with a 1/4 inch shank, optimized for finishing operations on flat or contoured parts. The maroon color signifies the medium hardness/abrasive grade within CGW’s non-woven line, helping operators select the appropriate aggressiveness for the task. Practical use considerations include maintaining tool speed within recommended ranges to avoid heat buildup and ensuring proper dressing or cleaning to prevent glazing, which can reduce abrading efficiency. Since the data specifies a 30,000 RPM capability, operators should confirm their tool’s allowable RPM and ensure proper safeguarding when running at high speeds.

Sizing and packaging details indicate a 1 inch diameter, 1 inch wheel width with a 1/4 inch shank, sold per piece with box quantities of 10. This packaging makes it suitable for stocking in maintenance shops and for tasks where frequent wheel changes are necessary. For best results, match the wheel’s medium grade to the intended finish level and surface profile, and replace when wear reduces conditioning effectiveness or when the shank shows signs of damage.
