Flap Brushes
Controlled Finishing for Complex Geometries
Superior Abrasives’ Flap Brushes are designed for uniform surface finishing, deburring, and polishing of complex parts and contours. Constructed with overlapping abrasive flaps around a central hub, flap brushes continuously expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining a consistent finish throughout the tool's life.
|
Available in a range of grit sizes, brush diameters, and widths, they are ideal for removing burrs, blending tool marks, and polishing radiused edges without altering part geometry.
Superior Abrasives offers flap brushes with both aluminum oxide and silicon carbide abrasives, making them suitable for metals, composites, and even delicate materials like plastics. Their flexibility and long-life performance make them a top choice for finishing in industries where precision surface treatment is essential, including aerospace, orthopedic implants, and food equipment manufacturing. |
Convolute Wheels
Smooth, Consistent Surface Conditioning
Superior Abrasives’ Convolute Wheels provide controlled, consistent surface conditioning for deburring, blending, cleaning, and polishing applications. .
|
Manufactured by winding nonwoven abrasive material around a core and bonding it with specialized resins, these wheels deliver a uniform, smear-free finish even on heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium.
Available in a wide range of densities, grit sizes, and wheel diameters (typically 6" to 12"), convolute wheels offer solutions for light deburring, oxide removal, weld blending, and precision surface preparation. Superior’s product range includes aluminum oxide and silicon carbide variants to meet specific application needs, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal loading and consistent surface quality — ideal for aerospace, energy, and precision manufacturing environments. |
