TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Garryson Flap Wheels offer a quick and economical solution to working on both flat and contoured surfaces.  The flat top and bottom design allows more versatility of application than raised hub versions.

Manufactured using the highest quality industrial cloth, the design of the wheels is such that as the flaps wear down, new abrasive is continuously exposed.  This action prevents clogging and gives a uniform, constant finish throughout the life of the wheel.

Because of the large number of flaps which Garryson Flap Wheels contain, they are very economical compared with belts etc, reducing finishing costs, due to the longer life and reduced downtime.

 

 

 

 

HOW TO OBTAIN THE BEST PERFORMANCE

Use only light pressure so that only the tips of the flaps are in contact with the work piece

Flap wheels give a finer effect and last considerably longer if they are used with a grinding paste or grease

If the rate of stock removal in insufficient, use a coarser grit

When using Flap Wheels on a moving or rotating work piece, the movement of the work piece must be in opposite direction to the rotation of the wheel

ALWAYS observe the maximum recommended RPM given in the tables

Garryson Flap Wheels are iron free and safe to use of stainless steel
