CGW 39904 1" x 5/8" x 1/4" Shank 80-Grit Straight Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel delivers a compact, fan-shaped arrangement of abrasive flaps around a 1/4 inch arbor for small-geometry grinding and material removal. This flap wheel uses aluminum oxide abrasive, known for its versatility on a variety of metals and non-metal substrates, providing a balanced combination of cut-rate, durability, and finish. The straight-flap design concentrates abrasive contact toward tight contours and hard-to-reach areas, enabling more controlled material removal in confined spaces.
Constructed to provide consistent cutting action, the flaps wear progressively to maintain a steady grind without sudden gouging, helping to extend wheel life in routine maintenance and fabrication work. The 1 inch wheel diameter, 5/8 inch thickness, and 1/4 inch shank make it suitable for small-diameter tools and workshops where space is at a premium, such as aerospace, automotive, or general metalworking operations. This configuration tends to produce a manageable finish on a range of substrates including steel, stainless steel, iron, brass, aluminum, as well as plastics, fiberglass, wood, and glass, depending on the operation and feed rate.
When selecting this flap wheel, consider the required material removal rate and the accessibility of the workpiece. The 80-grit texture paired with aluminum oxide delivers a reliable balance between aggressiveness and surface quality for light to moderate grinding tasks. For best results, use appropriate PPE and follow tool manufacturer recommendations for mounting, RPM limits, and compatibility with your grinder arbor to ensure safe and effective operation.
