Q: What are flap wheels used for?

Flap wheels are used for sanding curved and profiled wood, smoothing between finish coats, stripping paint from shaped parts, rustic texturing, and light deburring of metal edges. The flexible abrasive flaps conform to the shape of the part instead of flattening it.

A flap wheel is a sanding tool built from overlapping strips of abrasive cloth arranged around a hub. As it spins, the flexible flaps conform to curves, profiles and edges instead of flattening them, which is why woodworkers use flap wheels for shaped parts that hard pads and belts cannot finish. flap-wheels.com is the DIY and small-shop store of QuickWood, the brush sanding manufacturer founded in Denmark in 1975 by Bent Malherbe. These are the same OEM consumables that run on QuickWood industrial sanding machines in professional shops, sold here by the piece with free ground shipping on all US orders.

Flap wheel or deburring disc?

Flap wheels finish wood and follow shapes gently. Deburring discs are stiffer abrasive discs for rounding the edges of laser-cut metal parts in automatic machines. If your work is wood, start with a flap wheel; if it is sheet metal, see deburring discs or the comparison in flap wheel vs flap disc.
