Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend AP Mounted Flap Brush, 875511, 3 in x 2 in x 1/4 in, A MED, 5/Carton, 50 ea/Case

The Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend Mounted Flap Brush is designed to balance an aggressive cut with softness and pliability. The AP material, which is the thinnest and most pliable of the Buff and Blend non-woven materials, is perfect for removing small metal burrs, scratches, and contaminants in hard-to-reach areas or places where cleaning may be difficult due to an irregular-shaped surface. The spongy, open web is flexible, responsive, and conforms to irregular surfaces. By using Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend discs, wheels, and brushes, operators can tackle ridges and contours with less concern about gouging or marring the substrate, thus reducing waste and the need for rework.

This flap brush is made with tough, sharp-cutting aluminum oxide mineral. The medium grade (MED) brush delivers a somewhat coarse scratch pattern, suitable for satin or matte finishes. When you need a product that is more aggressive than a flap brush, choose a Standard Abrasives™ Combi-Wheel or Flap Wheel.

Flap brushes produce a consistent finish that does not reflect lines commonly attributed to ganged arbor hole discs. Density, pressure, and angle determine the ability of the flap brush to remove burrs, oxidation, and handling marks. The abrasive material provides ventilation, which helps dissipate heat and, therefore, runs cooler. This provides consistent finishes and reduces the risk of smearing or otherwise discoloring the workpiece. Minimal vibration can reduce chatter marks on the workpiece and can lead to less operator and machine fatigue. The permanently affixed 1/4˝ shank enables convenient use on small straight pneumatic and electric grinders and provides smooth running and ease of control for off-hand operations.

Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend products are load-resistant to keep you cutting with fresh mineral. The gaps in the open web allow unwanted swarf to escape. Consequently, less debris clogs the abrasive, so the mineral can stay fresh, keep cutting sharp, and deliver a consistent cut over the life of the product. As the fibers break down and fresh mineral is exposed, it reduces the likelihood of dull or blunt mineral smearing the surface, contributing to cleaner surfaces and less re-work. Furthermore, manual fatigue that may result from applying heavy pressure to a dull abrasive is reduced.

Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend products invigorate deburring, cleaning, blending, and finishing applications by helping operators reduce finishing steps, minimize costs, and achieve greater throughput. Each Buff and Blend product and grade offers unique benefits, so operators can choose from a versatile range of options to ensure superior performance on specific applications.
