CGW 39949 3" X 1" X 1/4" Shank 80-Grit Straight Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel

The CGW 39949 3" x 1" x 1/4" shank 80-grit straight aluminum oxide flap wheel is designed for precision finishing and material removal in tight spaces. With a 3-inch diameter and a 1/4-inch shank, this wheel features an aluminum oxide coated abrasive arranged in fan-like flaps around the shaft. That construction supports a consistent cutting action across the working surface, promoting steady material removal and extended wheel life when used on a variety of substrates. The 80-grit grade provides a balance between aggressive material removal and a smoother final finish, making it suitable for both deburring and finishing tasks on metals and certain non-metals.

The wheel is intended for use on tools requiring a straight-flanged accessory with a 1/4" arbor/shank, and its compact form helps reach confined areas that larger wheels cannot access. When selecting this flap wheel, consider the angular access and the RPM rating of up to 20,000 RPM to ensure compatible equipment and safe operation. The effective use of aluminum oxide abrasive in this configuration supports work on steel, stainless steel, iron, brass, aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, wood, and glass, enabling a broad range of maintenance and fabrication tasks.

This product is packaged as a single unit, with a box quantity of 10 per package. For installation and maintenance, ensure the shank and tool are compatible with a 1/4" arbor, verify the maximum RPM of your grinder matches or exceeds 20,000 RPM, and regularly inspect the flaps for wear to maintain consistent cutting action.
