Rocaris 10 Pack Flap Wheel, 120 Grit for Rotary Tools，1/8 inch Shank (32X10X3)

Works perfectly for my small projects!

The 1/8 handles on the 10pk I got were only 1-1/16 to 1-1/8 in length rather than 1-1/4 if that matters. The heads were 3/8 thick and 1-3/16 in diameter though. They fit on my rotary tools just fine. They were similar quality to flap wheels I have had in the past. They come fairly hard, so do note in the product description under tips where they recommend soaking before use. The bottom of the flap wheels is labeled with the rotational speed but is not labeled as 120 grit so I would label them with a marker before use or storing so you will know for future reference. 120 grit is pretty aggressive, so it would be good to do more final shaping on little intarsia wood pieces as well as working on cleaning up rust off metal pieces and such.

I find that these Rotary Flap Wheels are useful for smoothing the edges of hard plastic and metals. They are easy to use. They will last longer and do a better job grinding if you wet them down before use. Be sure to wear safety glasses because little bits of the material being ground, bits of sand, and water, will twirl off the rotating wheel.

When mounted in my Dremel rotary tool and run at maximum rotational speed, one of these flap wheels did a good job in… | • … removing a patch of rust from a badly rusted piece of steel (photo 1). | • … removing the OD burr from an abrasive-wheel-cut piece of conduit (photos 2A and 2B). The wheel ran smoothly, and I detected no obvious rotational imbalance, neither at the beginning of my tests nor at the end. I can see that these wheels will be a handy addition to my rotary-tool assortment. At this point I find no fault with this product and therefore give it a full five-star rating.

Comparing one of these to some others including name brands, the quality isnt as good. Just looking at them you can see the difference, but they still can do the job. They do seem to wear a bit faster though, but the price is pretty good and if you dont mind changing them out every so often, then they are still a good value.

I use these to knock rust off automotive parts. These will fit the bill.

DESCRIPTION: This is a set of ten abrasive flap wheels, intended for use in hand-held motor tools such as a Dremel brand. The dimensions are 32mm (overall diameter) x 10mm (width of individual flaps) x 3mm (shaft diameter). --------------- POTENTIAL USAGE: I used this product as intended, in a hand-held Dremel tool. It worked as expected on wood and metal surfaces. As with any powered abrasive tool, it sheds a lot of specks of abrasive, so proper personal protection is essential for safety. I generally work under a plastic shield, but I removed the shield for the staged photo. The 1/8 (3mm) shaft also fits in a stationary drill press for constant medium-speed use. This worked well for smoothing edges of wood pieces. The shaft also fits in a portable cordless screwdriver for slow or variable-speed use, and would work well for irregular surfaces such as automotive panels, deburring pipes, or in locations without AC power. Since these tools are reversible, it is important to be sure the flap wheel is turning in the correct direction (as if you were tightening a screw). --------------- MY USAGE: I primarily use these for polishing and brightening the wheels of model train locomotives. These wheels must be kept spotless as they provide the electrical connection to the locomotive. While holding the locomotive in a cradle (see photo) I could easily address the wheel surfaces using a light touch. I had previously used a little wire brush wheel for this purpose, but that was a bit too aggressive for this use. --------------- Note the online listing for this product specifies 120 grit in the description, but 80 grit in the illustration; so not sure which is correct.

I havent used many flap wheels but I know they can be pretty aggressive and these definitely are. Keep that in mind when using them. I know not to expect delicacy when using a flap wheel so I only have used them for major removal of wood or Ive also used them to remove rust from metal in order to get down to a better finish. I took the advice thats in the listing and soaked the flap wheel for a couple minutes before using it, then blotted off the extra water and let it spin for a bit before using. Of course stuff is flying everywhere so make sure to where eye protection and grubby work clothes when using these. Try to stay out of the line of spin too in order to avoid the worst of the stuff flying everywhere. That being said, I found this flap wheel to work about like I expected. It takes a good deal of material away rather quickly. As far as durability they seemed to last about as long as I would expect when it comes to a sanding product. Its possible that more expensive name brand wheels would hold up longer but these didnt just quickly give out either. I think it works out in my favor when it comes to duration vs. price. Im happy to keep using these whenever I need a flap wheel for my dremel projects. I dont think theres too much more to say. Best luck. ~Cheers!

These little flap discs work great! Ive used them with a rotary tool as well as even a power drill and they really do the job. Theyre 120 grit but theyll take metal down quick at high rpm so you have to keep them moving. They do fray up a bit but they keep working until the grit wears down. Id recommend them.

Will quickly remove rust and polish and deburr metal. They also work chucked into a drill, though slower. These are very abrasive, function more like coarse grit than 120. Would not use for fine sanding of wood, they will leave scratches. I cleaned, polished, and sharpened a rusty pair of long handled pruning shears. The flap sander worked great and only took a few minutes for the whole cleanup. Follow the instructions and soak the disc first, otherwise they are too stiff. Be sure to wear safety glasses, the dust and sparks fly everywhere sometimes right at you.
