Product Specification

6" x 2" x 1" Unmounted ALUMINUM OXIDE Flap Wheel

6" X 2" X 1" Unmounted Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheels are made with premium X-Flexed cotton cloth. They are versatile abrasive that can be used in the shop for many different finishing tasks.

Unmounted large flap wheels can conform to most shapes and are especially effective on pipes, tubes, and other cylindrical workpieces. So, if you have a flat or irregular surface made of metal, wood, rubber, fiberglass, or plastic that you need to grind, blend, deburr, clean, polish, or sand the 6 inches by 2inch by 1 inch flapper wheel is the abrasive you're looking for. The flaps of this flap wheel are arranged in a circular fan shape around the center arbor hole.

This aluminum oxide flap wheel is an ideal sander wheel for grinding and polishing rust and paint on flat or contoured surfaces. These unmounted flap wheels are commonly used in metalworking and woodworking, deburring, and finishing tools for metal, wood, and rubber.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Natalie I. ★★★★★

The cotton-cloth backing is noticeably more rigid than cheaper wheels I've used, so it holds its shape on the bench grinder without fluttering. The 6x2x1 size covers a lot of surface area too, which made quick work of blending a welded seam.

Edward ★★★★★

Really solid feel for a flap wheel this size—the X-Flexed cloth backing gives it a nice stiffness. Already used it on a few steel parts and it's holding up well without shedding fibers.

Lucy B. ★★★★★

Was surprised how well the aluminum oxide holds up on stainless steel—the X-Flexed cloth backing really does keep the flaps from shedding too fast. Used it for blending welds on a gate project and it cut evenly without loading up.
