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

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 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!

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

Nice sanding wheels for guitar making. There are many curves that are easier to manage using these. Perfect for small projects and strong.

These a very durable flap wheels, they are very securely glued, I suspect I could sand right down to the knub and never lose a flap. I will say the 120 grit is a very abrasive for most wood detail work and the flaps do not yield much, adding to the extra abrasive qualities of these wheels. These would probably sever better for metal detail work/projects. I wish they listed the grit size on the product, I think it might be on the back of the flaps somewhere, but the writing is so big and the flap is so small, youd never be able to read it. They should print it right on the end, or on the little sticker that lists the wheel size. Overall, a useful product, just know the 120 is very abrasive for wood detail work.

These are good and worked great in my Dremel for sanding on tight corners on wood when prepping for refinishing furniture. Smooth nice finish once removing current coatings and finish

Flap wheels are a staple in any rotary tool/flex shaft accessory kit; they offer an easy way to carve, smooth, and blend curved areas of a surface. The Rocaris 10-pack, at about $1 per wheel, is about one-half to one-third the price of my favorite name-brand flap wheels. As you might expect, theyre not quite as well put together as the more expensive versions: The glue joints can be a little uneven, the trim on the flaps can be kind of haphazard...but given the abuse these wheels get, its probably a minor issue. From what Ive seen in my first wheel, theyre not going to last as long as some, but again, at the price thats a minor issue. Less minor: They are positioned as 120-grit AlOx wheels, but as others have noted they seem more aggressive than that. The initial cutting is more like an 80-grit at least. However, after a couple hours use, they soften up to about where I expected them to be, out of the box. (Hint: If youre buying inexpensive abrasives, its ALWAYS a good idea to test them on a piece of scrap (metal, wood, glass, stone), and compare them to what youre used to.)

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 love em... I have used a lot of these over the years. These are some of the best I have used. They hold up well and also cut well. I would recommend these for your small finishing or trimminmg jobs.
