CGW 39908 1" X 1" X 1/4" Shank 60-Grit Straight Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel

The CGW 39908 1" x 1" x 1/4" Shank 60-Grit Straight Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel is designed for precision material removal in tight spaces. Its compact 1-inch diameter with a 1/4-inch shank enables easy access to hard-to-reach areas while delivering consistent cutting action. The wheel construction uses firm aluminum oxide-coated abrasives, arranged as flaps around the shaft, which helps maintain steady performance and extended life during continuous work on a variety of substrates.

The 60-grit aluminum oxide material provides a balanced blend of material removal rate and surface finish suitable for metals and certain non-metals. This flap configuration supports smooth, controlled grinding and finishing, reducing the need for heavy pressure and allowing the operator to achieve a uniform edge on profiles, brackets, fittings, and other small parts. It is appropriate for use on steel, stainless steel, iron, brass, aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, wood, and glass, making it versatile for multi-material shop environments.

Practical considerations include keeping RPMs within the tool’s capability to avoid glazing or premature wear; the 30,000 RPM rating reflects typical performance for light to moderate grinding tasks on smaller components. The packaging indicates the unit is provided as individual flaps within a set, with ten units per box, enabling inventory planning and replacement scheduling for consistent production workflows.

Usage should focus on low-to-moderate pressure to maintain the integrity of the flap design and to optimize contact with the workpiece. Ensure the shank and arbor fitment are compatible with the tool holder and that the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent vibration during operation.

Features:

• Firm, quality Aluminum Oxide coated abrasive material. The flaps, arranged like a fan around the shaft of the tool, provide for consistent cutting action, maximum performance and long life.
• Use on steel, stainless steel, iron, brass, aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, wood and glass. Excellent for working in small, difficult to reach places.
