Bench and Pedestal Grinding Wheels with Nylon Mesh for Deburring Metals
The abrasive-embedded mesh construction provides a cushioned grind. Also known as convolute wheels.
Medium-density wheels conform to surfaces better than hard-density wheels. Use for blending tool marks, light deburring, and creating a bright surface finish.
Hard- and extra-hard density wheels are more durable for aggressive material removal and heavy deburring.
Caution: Use only accessories that have a greater rpm rating than the maximum speed of the grinder you choose.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Flap Wheels for Flap Wheel Sanders


The abrasive-embedded mesh construction gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes.
Wheels with cloth/nylon mesh backing have alternating cloth and nylon mesh abrasive flaps that are more flexible and produce finer finishes than all-cloth flap wheels.
Coarse grade is for aggressive deburring and cleaning.
Medium grade is for deburring and polishing.
Very fine grade is for finishing.

Nylon Mesh Cushioned Flap Sanding Wheels with Shank
The abrasive‐embedded mesh construction gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes. The flaps reduce gouging while producing a uniform finish on flat and curved surfaces. As the flaps wear, new abrasive is exposed. Secure the shank into the collet or chuck of your tool.
Medium grade is for deburring and polishing.
Very fine grade is for finishing.
