| · | They produce a consistent, uniform performance throughout the functional life of the product. |
| · | They are flexible, allowing the material to adapt and conform to contours and irregular surfaces. |
| · | Because the abrasive cutting action is constant and controlled, the possibility of removing desirable base stock material is reduced. |
| · | They are self-dressing, requiring no break-in period. |
| · | They are waterproof, and therefore can be used wet or dry. |
| · | They are non-metallic and will not rust or contaminate in any way. |
| · | The open construction naturally resists loading. |
| · | They are safer to use than the dangerous loose flying wires associated with wire brushes. |
| · | Their open construction permits air circulation for cool operation and reduces the potential for burning or discoloring the work piece surface. |

Choosing a Flap Wheel Diameter and Width
How to Select a Flap Wheel Diameter
In order for the flap wheel to run at peak efficiency, the correct Surface Feet per Minute (SFPM) should be considered. For example, you would like to polish a brass casting and you shaft is turning 1650 rpm's, a 16" diameter flap wheel would be a good place to start because the combination of the diameter of the flap wheel and the rpm's of the shaft give you approximately 7,000 (SFPM) which is a recommended starting point for polishing brass. It should be noted that as the wheel wears, (SFPM) is lost, but because the flaps are closer to the center plate they become stiffer and thereby compensate to some degree for the loss of (SFPM).
The table below illustrates the (SFPM) for a variety of metals in the polishing operations
Non-Wovens
The surface condition of any part or product, whether for appearance or functionality, is a vital factor in meeting today's exacting expectations and competitive standards. Manufacturers worldwide devote significant attention to deburring, finishing and polishing systems to produce the results customers demand. Today many have learned to rely on a new category, non-woven abrasives. The unique three-dimensional construction of non-woven abrasives provides functional characteristics and a diverse range of performance capabilities that provide distinct advantages over traditional coated abrasives in many applications.
Non-wovens are constructed from three basic components:
Fibre
By varying the dimension of the synthetic fibre, the firmness, or flexibility of the material can be manipulated.
Abrasive Grit
The size of the abrasive grain will influence the aggressiveness of the cutting action.
Resin Binder
This agent acts to bond the fibre and abrasive grain together and ensures the structural integrity of the finished product.
The way these three components are combined creates a variety of versatile abrasive tools capable of producing a wide spectrum of surface conditions and finishes. The characteristics of non-woven material have made it the fastest growing abrasive product today.
