TORK CRAFT Flap Wheel 40 X 20 X 6mm Shaft120 Grit Per Each

Features

• Abrasive flap wheel Designed for compatible sanding and finishing applications.
• 40mm diameter Suitable for controlled sanding on smaller surfaces and shaped workpieces.
• 20mm wheel width Provides a wider abrasive face for suitable detail and surface applications.
• 6mm shaft Fits compatible machines and chuck systems accepting this shaft size.
• 120 grit Practical finer abrasive grade for finishing and surface preparation.

Benefits

• Controlled surface finishing: Helps sand, smooth and prepare compatible surfaces.
• Useful finer grit: 120 grit is practical for lighter sanding and finishing tasks.

• Easy machine fitment: The 6mm shaft allows use with suitable machines and chuck setups.
• Workshop ready: Useful for fabrication, maintenance, repair and general surface preparation work.

Application

• Sanding and finishing compatible surfaces
• Surface preparation before coating or further finishing
• Blending edges and light marks where suitable
• Deburring and cleaning compatible materials
• Small area and detail sanding applications
• Workshop, maintenance and repair work
• Use with compatible machines accepting 6mm shaft flap wheels

What is grit?

When talking about sandpaper 'grit' is a reference to the number of abrasive particles per inch of sandpaper. The lower the grit the rougher the sandpaper and conversely, the higher the grit number the smoother the sandpaper.

This make sense if you imagine how small the particles on an 1000-grit sandpaper would need to be to fit into a 1' square (25,4mm square). Sandpaper is referred to by the size of its grit (Example 120-grit sandpaper or P120 sandpaper).

Choice

You need to choose the grit size of sandpaper depending on the particular job you are trying to accomplish. For heavy sanding and stripping, you need coarse sandpaper measuring 40- to 60-grit; for smoothing surfaces and removing small imperfections, choose 80- to 120-grit sandpaper. For finishing surfaces smoothly, use a super fine sandpaper with 360- to 600-grit. Many jobs require you to “go through the grits.” This means you start the project using lower-grade grit and use finer pieces of sandpaper as you progress. Each time you advance to a higher grit sandpaper, you remove the scratches from the previous layer.

Specifications
