The Proxxon flap wheel is a conformable abrasive tool that flexes to match flat, curved, and contoured surfaces — including the inside of round workpieces where rigid abrasives can't follow the profile. At 120 grit, it's optimally positioned as a finishing sander: use it after heavier stock removal to refine the surface and prepare for polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-3\/16\" (approx. 30mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/64\" (3mm) — standard Micromot collet size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finishing sander after heavier surface sanding and material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart No.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBest Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishing flat and contoured metal, wood, and plastic surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding inside bores, tubes, and round workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlending and smoothing curved profiles and fillets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-polish surface preparation after coarser abrasive work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Size Do You Need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eØ 1-3\/16\" (No. 28985):\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger diameter — better for open surfaces, larger bores, and faster coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/flap-wheel-2\"\u003eØ 3\/4\" (No. 28984)\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smaller diameter — better for tight bores, narrow slots, and confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany users keep both sizes on hand for complete coverage across different workpiece geometries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat rotary tools are these compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese flap wheels fit any Micromot-compatible tool with a 3mm collet, including the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/professional-rotary-tool-ibs-e\"\u003eIBS\/E\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/proxxon-cordless-professional-drill-grinder-ibs-a-tool-only\"\u003eIBS\/A\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this on metal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the flap wheel works on metal, wood, and plastic.
