Flap wheels, also known as emery wheels or sandpaper wheels, are a common grinding tool that is commonly used for surface grinding, polishing and deburring of materials such as metal, wood, and plastic. Here are some basic steps and precautions for using flap wheel abrasives:
1. Choose the right flap wheel: Choose the abrasive with the right coarseness and size according to the material and purpose to be ground.
2. Install the flap wheel: Make sure the flap wheel is properly installed on the angle grinder or other grinding tool. Use a special clamp to fix the flap wheel and make sure it is firm.
3. Check safety: Before starting work, check the flap wheel for damage or wear and make sure there are no loose parts.
4. Wear safety equipment: When using the flap wheel, wear appropriate safety equipment such as safety glasses, dust masks, earplugs or earmuffs, and work gloves.
