KLINGSPOR mounted flap wheel Faecherschleifer 40×20 mm K80 with 6 mm shank (12944, pack of 10)

KLINGSPOR mounted flap wheel Faecherschleifer 40×20 mm K80 with 6 mm shank is an abrasive tool configured for contour finishing, deburring and surface blending on metal, wood and plastics. The wheel has an abrasive grade K80 for medium grit removal and a 6 mm shank that fits most hand-held drills and rotary tools with a compatible collet. Supplied in a pack of 10, these flap wheels are intended for repetitive workshop tasks where consistent surface preparation and smoothing are required.

Advantages

The flap wheel construction provides uniform material removal and adapts to contoured surfaces, allowing smoother transitions and reduced risk of gouging compared with rigid abrasives. The K80 abrasive offers a balance between stock removal and finish quality, suitable for intermediate sanding stages. The 6 mm shank ensures compatibility with common drill chucks and rotary tool collets, enabling quick tool changes and practical use in portable equipment.

Suitable for

• Contour finishing and edge blending on steel and non-ferrous metals
• Deburring castings, welds and machined parts
• Smoothing wooden profiles and removing paint or varnish residues
• Surface preparation of plastics prior to bonding or painting
• Intermediate sanding between coarse and fine abrasive steps

How to use

Mount the flap wheel in a drill or rotary tool with a 6 mm collet or chuck and ensure it is securely tightened before operation. Start at low speed to position the tool and then increase speed according to material and task, keeping the wheel flat or at a slight angle to the workpiece to follow contours. Apply light, even pressure and move the wheel along the surface to avoid overheating and excessive material removal. Periodically inspect the flap wheel for wear and replace when effective abrasive surface is reduced.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. For metalworking tasks, consider using coolant or intermittent operation to manage heat. Test on a scrap piece first to confirm speed and pressure settings for the desired finish.
