FLAP WHEEL 4 1/2X7/8 A3T29 36G CALCIUM STEARATE - Camel Grinding Wheels

The Camel Grinding Wheels Model 43101 FLAP WHEEL is a professional-grade abrasive designed for efficient material removal, blending, and finishing in automotive and industrial applications. Featuring a 4 1/2" x 7/8" Type 29 design with 36G premium aluminum oxide abrasive and a specialized calcium stearate coating, this flap wheel is engineered to deliver superior performance and extended life, especially on soft metals.

Key Features

• Premium A3 Aluminum Oxide Abrasive: Constructed with high-quality, blue-fired aluminum oxide grains (A3) on a durable polyester backing, ensuring aggressive cutting action and consistent performance through various tasks.
• Calcium Stearate Coating: A unique calcium stearate coating prevents loading and glazing, particularly when working with soft, non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, and nickel. This coating liquefies under heat, keeping the workpiece cooler and extending the disc's lifespan by resisting chip adhesion.
• Type 29 Conical Design: The angled (conical) shape of this Type 29 flap wheel offers increased surface contact, making it highly effective for aggressive stock removal, grinding on contours, and blending edges with greater control.
• 36-Grit for Heavy Material Removal: The coarse 36-grit abrasive is ideal for demanding applications requiring significant material removal, such as heavy deburring, grinding down welds, and efficiently stripping rust and paint.
• Contaminant-Free Construction: Engineered with less than 0.1% iron, sulfur, and chlorine, this flap wheel ensures clean operation, preventing unwanted rust or corrosion on stainless steel and other sensitive materials.
• Reduced Vibration and Noise: Flap wheels generally offer a smoother, quieter operation with less vibration compared to traditional grinding wheels, improving user comfort and control.

Applications

This versatile flap wheel is well-suited for a wide range of professional tasks, including heavy stock removal, weld grinding and blending, deburring, and edge chamfering. It performs exceptionally well on soft metals like aluminum, copper, and zinc, as its calcium stearate coating prevents clogging and heat buildup. It is also an excellent choice for blending stainless steel and for preparing surfaces in automotive restoration, such as removing rust and paint.
