A range of shaft-mounted abrasive flap wheels has been produced by Sykes-Pickavant.
Although the wheels are best used in conjunction with flexible shaft machines or portable grinders, they can be fitted to hand drills, electric or air, provided they have a minimum chuck capacity of 6.35mm (0.25in).
Various sizes of flap wheels are available from 60x15mm (2.4x0,6in) to 80x5Omm (3.2x2in) in grades of 60, 80 or 120 grit. Made from non-rigid resin bonded cloth, they are said to wear evenly with a constant fresh cutting edge being available throughout the life of the tool. Prices range from £1.30 to £3.00 excluding VAT.
