Buying advice

When choosing a flap wheel, consider the grit size (coarse for stock removal, fine for finishing), wheel diameter and arbor size to match your tool, and material compatibility (zirconia for steel, aluminum oxide for general). Also, balance price with expected lifespan; cheaper wheels may wear faster.
