The 3M™ Flap Wheel 244D is a general-purpose flap wheel designed for grinding, polishing, sanding, and finishing. Versatile aluminum oxide mineral cuts sharp, while the flap construction helps deliver fine finishes with individually mounted abrasive flaps that continually lap the surface.Each flap on the 3M Flap Wheel 244D contains aluminum oxide mineral, which is resin-bonded to an X-weight rayon cloth backing. The rayon cloth backing is flexible, firm, and resistant to edge wear. Overall, cloth-backed abrasives are a good match for metalworking applications. Still, the cloth is malleable, so it can gently lap the workpiece without gouging the part. Additionally, among cloth backing weights, X-weight tends to be heavy and stiff.
