CGW-Camel Grinding Wheels has introduced a metal surface drum sander and flap wheel drum line for large scale metal finishing. Made with electronic controls, a soft start feature and a variable speed dial, the flap drum sander is engineered to not bog down while making shadow-free finishes. The new sander also has an overload protection feature and high-speed capacity for longer working life. The sander weighs 7.9 pounds, provides 4 inches of working tool width and features an 11-amp input and 700-watt output.

The new flap wheel drum line consists of four types of 4-inch by 4-inch drums with keyhole arbors. The four drums are coated aluminum oxide drums, zirconia aluminum oxide drums, interleaf and non-woven drums. Available in 40- through 120-grit sizes, the new coated flap wheel drums work coolly on a variety of metals including steel, ferrous, and stainless steels.

The interleaf flap wheel drums are made from alternating flaps of non-woven and aluminum oxide materials for uniform finishes. Interleaf flap wheel drums are available in 40- to 240-grit sizes and are paired with medium-grade, non-woven material. The new non-woven flap wheel drums are made from non-woven material impregnated with aluminum oxide grain and are available in coarse through very fine grits.
