CGW 36460 3" X 2" X 1/4" Shank Maroon Medium Non-Woven Surface Conditioning Flap Wheel

The CGW 36460 is a 3 inch diameter, 2 inch width, and 1/4 inch shank maroon medium non-woven surface conditioning flap wheel designed for versatile deburring, blending, and surface finishing on a variety of material surfaces. Its 100% non-woven aluminum oxide construction provides flexible conformability to contours and edges, allowing consistent contact with work surfaces while reducing gouging and chatter compared with harder conditioning tools. The wheel is offered in multiple grits (coarse, medium, fine) to accommodate different finishing requirements, with this variant targeting a medium finish level suitable for general-purpose blending and texture removal on metal and similar substrates.

Construction details emphasize the non-woven design and the integrated shank, enabling use in rotary tools and compatible fixtures that accept 1/4 inch shanks. The medium grade balances material removal with surface finish, making it appropriate for light deburring, edge radiusing, and cosmetic finishing tasks where a smooth, uniform appearance is desired without altering part dimensions significantly. The flange-free, flexible face helps conform to curved surfaces and intricate features while maintaining a consistent finish across the work area.

Practical considerations include monitoring RPM compatibility; the listed maximum nominal speed is 20,000 RPM, which informs operator safety and equipment matching. The packaging is described as “Each” with a box quantity of 10, indicating how the product is typically stocked for maintenance and shop workflows. When selecting this flap wheel, verify the workpiece material and desired finish, ensure the rotary tool and collet/shank accept a 1/4 inch shank, and use appropriate PPE for dust and debris generated during conditioning work.
