What is a flap disc? Many people think it's wrong!
Many people think that flap discs are just ordinary grinding discs, nothing special. This idea is totally wrong! The flap wheel is not an ordinary grinding disc. It is made of sandpaper sheets bonded to a base, like a small wheel. Its sandpaper sheets can dissipate heat independently, and it is not easy to get clogged during grinding. It can also automatically adjust the contact area according to the grinding surface, and the grinding effect is good and uniform. The reason for this misunderstanding is that people know too little about it. They only look at the surface and think it looks similar to ordinary grinding discs. This causes many people to miss such a good grinding tool and keep using the old inefficient method.
Can flap discs only be used in one place? Stop it!
Some people think that flap discs can only be used for metal grinding. This is simply a great reduction of its use! The use of flap wheels is very wide. In the metal processing industry, it can remove rust, burrs, and grind welds on metal surfaces to make them smooth and flat; in the wood processing industry, it can grind wood surfaces to make them smooth, making it easier for subsequent painting, carving, and other processes; in the automobile manufacturing industry, it can grind and polish auto parts to make the car look more beautiful. This cognitive misunderstanding is because people are exposed to a limited number of industries, and only see its application in a certain industry, so they think it can only be used in this industry. This has caused many industries to miss opportunities to improve efficiency and quality.
There is no good product if it is cheap, so only expensive flap discs are good? Too naive!
Many people think that you have to buy expensive flap discs, and expensive ones are of good quality. This is completely misleading by the price! Good or bad cannot be judged by price alone. Some expensive ones may be brand premiums, or they have invested a lot of costs in publicity, but their actual quality and performance are not necessarily better than those of moderately priced ones. This misunderstanding arises because everyone thinks that expensive ones are good, and lacks standards for judging quality. This has led many people to spend money in vain and buy expensive but not necessarily practical flap wheels.
Can flap discs be used casually without maintenance? Big mistake!
Some people think that flap discs are consumables, which can be thrown away after use without maintenance. This idea is too stupid! Although it is a consumable, reasonable maintenance can extend its service life. After each use, clean up the debris and dust on it in time to avoid clogging the sandpaper leaves; store it in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture. Failure to maintain the flap wheel will shorten its service life and increase the cost of use. This misunderstanding is because people do not realize the importance of maintenance and only seek convenience.
