Mini Flap Wheel 29.5 X 5 X3.2mm Shank 80g
Shank Diameter: Ø3.2mm
Wheel Diameter: Ø29.5mm
Width: 5mm
Grit: 80
This Mini Flap Wheel is a robust abrasive solution designed for those who need a bit more "bite" during the initial stages of finishing. Measuring 29.5mm in diameter with a slim 5mm profile, this wheel excels at accessing narrow slots and grooves where wider wheels cannot fit.
The 80 grit abrasive flaps provide an aggressive cutting action, making it the perfect choice for removing heavier rust, smoothing out deep scratches, or shaping edges on metal, wood, and hard plastics. It is specifically engineered to strip material quickly while maintaining a controlled, consistent surface.
Featuring a standard 3.2mm (1/8") shank, this flap wheel is fully compatible with most high-speed rotary tools and die grinders. The durable shank ensures stability and reduces wobble, allowing for high-precision work even when applying the pressure required for heavier deburring tasks.
The specialized fan-like construction allows the flaps to contour to your workpiece, providing a uniform finish on curved and flat surfaces alike. Because the flaps wear down gradually to reveal fresh abrasive material, you get a longer tool life and a more reliable performance than traditional sanding sleeves.

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.
