Abrasive Mounted Flap Wheel KLINGSPOR 50x20 mm K80, 6 mm Shank, model 12998 (pack of 10)

The KLINGSPOR abrasive mounted flap wheel 50x20 mm K80 with a 6 mm shank (pack of 10) is a radial flap grinding accessory designed for surface finishing and material preparation on metals and non-ferrous substrates. Each wheel features overlapping abrasive flaps arranged around a central hub to provide consistent material removal, smoothing and edge blending when used with rotary tools and die grinders that accept a 6 mm shank. Supplied in a set of ten, these mounted flap wheels are intended for repeated use in workshop and industrial settings where medium-cut abrasive action is required.

Advantages

The flap design ensures conforming contact with irregular surfaces and edges, delivering uniform finish and reduced risk of gouging. K80 grit offers a balance between stock removal and surface refinement, making it suitable for deburring, rust and paint removal, and preparing surfaces for welding or coating. The 6 mm shank enables fast changeover in compatible handheld rotary tools and die grinders, while the compact 50 × 20 mm abrasive head allows access to tighter areas than larger wheels.

Suitable for

• Deburring and edge rounding on steel and non-ferrous metals
• Rust, scale and old paint removal from small to medium areas
• Surface preparation for welding, brazing or painting
• Finishing and blending of weld seams and contours
• Detail work in tight or recessed areas using rotary tools

• Grit: K80 (medium)
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Flap construction for conforming finish
• Pack quantity: 10 units
• Suitable for use with rotary tools and die grinders accepting 6 mm shanks

How to use

Mount the flap wheel securely in the collet or chuck of a compatible rotary tool or die grinder rated for the planned operating speed. Start at low speed to verify balance and secure mounting, then increase to the recommended operational speed of your tool while applying light, even pressure to the workpiece. Move the wheel across the surface with steady passes and avoid prolonged dwell in one spot to prevent overheating or excessive material removal. Replace wheels when the abrasive flaps are worn down or no longer provide effective cutting action.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection, gloves and a dust mask. Match the grit and wheel size to the task: K80 for medium stock removal and blending; choose a finer grit for final finishing or a coarser grit for heavier material removal. Allow the tool to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece and maintain consistent motion for even results.
