Mini Flap Wheel 29.5 X 9.5 X3.2mm Shank 120g
Shank Diameter: Ø3.2mm
Wheel Diameter: Ø29.5mm
Width: 9.5mm
Grit: 120
This high-performance Mini Flap Wheel is an essential addition to any precision toolkit, specifically engineered for detailed grinding, blending, and finishing. With a 29.5mm diameter and a 9.5mm width, its compact profile allows you to navigate tight corners, internal curves, and intricate contours that standard sanding discs often miss.
The abrasive surface features a 120 grit rating, offering a versatile "medium-fine" finish. This grit level is ideal for smoothing out rough surfaces, removing light flash or scale, and blending welds without leaving deep scratches behind. It provides enough bite for efficient material removal while leaving a surface that is nearly ready for final polishing.
Designed for seamless integration, the wheel is equipped with a 3.2mm (1/8") shank. This ensures universal compatibility with most high-speed rotary tools, including Dremel and other common die grinders. The shank is precision-balanced to minimize vibration, allowing for steady control even at higher RPMs.
The wheel's "fan" design consists of multiple abrasive flaps bonded to a central core. As the tool rotates, these flaps flex against the workpiece, providing a cushioned touch that prevents accidental flat spots or gouging. As the outer edges wear down, fresh abrasive grain is constantly exposed, ensuring a consistent cut and a significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional sanding drums.

The shank of the rotary cutter is securely locked in place by fitting it in the corresponding collet or making use of a keyless chuck.
Rotation speed:
Most rotary tools have the benefit to adjust the rotation speed. Many tool bits that fit in rotary tools have a maximum speed setting. This can normally be found on the packaging.
All materials react differently to speed and will need the tool bit to rotate slower. It is recommended to start using accessories on the slower speed first, before increasing the speed as needed.
The diameter of the tool bit fitted also determines the rotation speed. The larger the diameter, the slower the speed. If the speed is set too high, it could bend the shank/shaft resulting in injury.
