WHY FLAP WHEELS?

Because they are modern, cost effective surface finishing tools.  Whether you are working with metal, wood, rubber or plastic, flap wheels will grind and polish flat and contoured surfaces.  They are easy to use and to control and will not dig into your workpiece.

The design of the flap wheel is such that as the flap wears down, new abrasive is continuously exposed.  This prevents clogging and gives a uniform, constant finish throughout the life if the wheel.  Because of the large number of abrasive flaps they contain, flap wheels are very economical, compared with belts etc.  Unit finishing costs are cut due to the longer life and reduced downtime.

Only Garryson Flap Wheels use quality abrasive cloth
