CGW 36457 is a 3-inch diameter, 1 inch wide, 1/4-inch shank mounted flap wheel designed for surface conditioning tasks. The wheel uses 100% non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive material, providing flexible conformity to uneven work surfaces and aiding finishing or deburring operators with consistent texture. The medium grade offers a balanced abrasion rate suitable for moderately challenging conditioning jobs, and the flap wheel is available in coarse, medium, and fine options to match specific material and finish requirements. This particular model features a 1/4-inch shank for quick attachment to compatible rotary tools and spins up to 20,000 RPM, enabling efficient material removal while maintaining control over the work piece.
The construction relies on the non-woven fabric-backed abrasive flaps arranged around the wheel core, which helps maintain a uniform contact surface while reducing gouging on delicate or contoured profiles. The medium hardness designation indicates a compartment between flexibility and aggressiveness, making it appropriate for light deburring, blending, and surface finishing on metal substrates. When selecting this wheel, consider the working radius and access constraints of your tool to ensure full coverage and safe operation at elevated speeds.
Packaging for this product is listed as individual pieces, with a box quantity of 10, supporting economical stocking for maintenance operations. For best results, verify compatibility with your tool’s arbor or shank requirements and confirm the wheel’s RPM rating aligns with the tool’s operating speed to avoid over-speed conditions or premature wear.
