Description

We are passionate about supporting jewellery makers at every stage of their journey. The Bench Essentials range has been created with beginners and students in mind, offering reliable, affordable, and high-quality essentials to help you build skills and confidence at the bench.

The 400 Grit Square Emery Flap Wheel from Bench Essentials by Cooksongold is a versatile abrasive accessory designed for grinding, smoothing, and refining a wide range of materials.

400 grit is a fine abrasive that removes 320 grit scratches and begins to produce a soft, satin-like appearance. This grit is particularly useful in jewellery making when preparing pieces for polishing or when a brushed finish is desired.

Emery flap wheels are widely used in metalworking, woodworking, and other fabrication applications to carry out tasks such as:

• Grinding: Flap wheels are ideal for reducing rough areas, smoothing weld seams, and removing sharp edges from metal and other materials. They efficiently take away excess material while still leaving a refined surface.
• Finishing: These wheels are well suited for producing a smooth, even finish. They help remove scratches, marks, and imperfections left by coarser abrasives.
• Deburring: Flap wheels effectively eliminate burrs raised or rough edges created during cutting or machining. Their flexible flaps adapt to the shape of the workpiece, allowing for accurate and controlled deburring.
• Blending: When a smooth transition between adjoining surfaces is required, flap wheels help merge edges seamlessly for a consistent, uniform appearance.
• Surface Preparation: Before painting, coating, or applying other finishes, flap wheels can clean and prepare surfaces by removing rust, old coatings, and contaminants.
• Contouring: Thanks to their flexibility, flap wheels conform easily to curved or uneven surfaces, making them especially useful where rigid abrasive tools may struggle.

Constructed with multiple overlapping abrasive flaps mounted on a 2.34mm stainless steel shank, measuring 50mm in overall length with an oval head size of 10mm x 20mm diameter and a flap width of 6mm.

For best results, begin with a coarser grit and gradually work your way up to the finest grade.
