Norton Metal R207 Plus Flange Mounted Flap Wheels

Flange mounted flap wheels have a continual rate of wear as they constantly expose new abrasive grains when in use. Ideal for sanding contours and uneven surfaces as they conform well to intricate shapes thanks to the flap construction. The R207 is the choice where superior finish is required or for low-pressure applications.

The product structure: abrasive flaps anchored by a resin core at the centre, provides great flexibility and very smooth surface finish. A consistent finish is always maintained due to the uniform cut rate, especially on aluminium and stainless-steel parts where they can be used for blending, deburring, finishing applications in metal fabrication, welding and polishing. Flange mounted flap wheels perform best at a recommended speed of 38-42m/s. At this speed, the abrasive flaps stand up straight due to the centrifugal force, where only the edges are in contact with the workpiece, optimising stock removal and surface finish whilst avoiding thermal load of the workpiece and tool wear.
