Flap wheel abrasive Glob GLOB-SLW-10019-TWARDA 100×100×19 mm zirconia P40

Flap wheel abrasive Glob GLOB-SLW-10019-TWARDA 100×100×19 mm with zirconia P40 is a cylindrical flap wheel designed for aggressive material removal and shaping on metal and other hard substrates. Constructed with overlapping zirconia-coated abrasive flaps mounted around a central core, this abrasive tool provides consistent cutting action while adapting to contoured surfaces. Intended for use with rotary tools, grinders and polishing spindles, the wheel delivers rapid stock removal and effective surface conditioning during preparatory and finishing operations.

Advantages

The zirconia abrasive provides high cutting performance and long life under heavy-duty use, maintaining grit integrity when working on steel and other hard materials. The flap design ensures even wear and continuous exposure of fresh abrasive, reducing downtime for replacement. Its cylindrical form allows uniform contact on flat and slightly curved surfaces, offering controllable stock removal and smoothing without deep gouging when used at recommended speeds.

Suitable for

• Metal deburring and edge blending
• Rust and scale removal from steel surfaces
• Shaping and stock removal on welds and castings
• Surface preparation before painting or coating
• Matting and conditioning of hard substrates

Key specifications

• Shape: cylindrical flap wheel (cylindrical arrangement of abrasive flaps)
• Dimensions: 100 × 100 × 19 mm (outer diameter × width × bore diameter)
• Abrasive type: zirconia alumina non-woven flaps
• Grit: P40 (coarse, for aggressive removal)
• Compatibility: for use with rotary tools, bench grinders and polishing spindles requiring a 19 mm bore

How to use

Mount the flap wheel securely on a spindle or arbor with a matching 19 mm bore. Verify the mounting is centered and the tool is balanced before operation. Start the tool at low speed to confirm stable rotation, then increase to the recommended operating speed for the tool and the abrasive type. Apply light to moderate pressure and move the wheel across the workpiece with smooth, controlled strokes; avoid forcing the wheel to prevent overheating or premature wear. Allow the abrasive to do the cutting and periodically inspect the wheel and workpiece to monitor progress.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection. Keep tool speed within the manufacturer's recommended limits for flap wheels and for zirconia abrasives. For best results on hardened steel, use gradual passes rather than heavy single passes; replace the wheel when the abrasive flaps are excessively worn or the wheel shows imbalance.
