    Nylon Mesh Cushioned Sanding Flap Wheels with Shank

    The abrasive‐embedded mesh construction gives you more control over sanding pressure, creating finer and more consistent finishes. The flaps reduce gouging while producing a uniform finish on flat and curved surfaces. As the flaps wear, new abrasive is exposed. Secure the shank into the collet or chuck of your tool.
