On‑Site Deburring and Edge-Blending Service
Offer mobile finishing for fabricators, welders, and contractors: remove sharp edges on brackets, handrails, and machine parts; blend small welds; and prep surfaces for coating. The 1/4 in arbor fits common drills/die grinders for field work, and the 120 grit provides fast, controlled results.
Custom Brushed Metal Nameplates and Tags
Produce satin-finished aluminum or stainless tags with decorative chamfers. Add stamped or laser-engraved logos/IDs and sell to makers, breweries, pet owners, and gear brands. The flap wheel yields a uniform finish and safe, beveled edges at scale.

Complement sharpening with comfort rounding of spines/choils, deburring of scale edges, and satin handle blending. Market to chefs and EDC enthusiasts as a premium ‘comfort and finish’ package using controlled 120-grit flap-wheel work.
Post‑Processing for CNC & 3D‑Printed Parts
Provide rapid deburring and cosmetic finishing of small batch parts—blend toolmarks, break sharp edges, clean countersinks, and prep for anodizing/paint. Price per part or per bin; the small wheel accesses tight internal corners efficiently.

Engine-turned Metal Art Panels
Use the 3/4 in flap wheel to lay overlapping circular swirls on aluminum or stainless panels for a classic ‘engine-turned’ look. Seal with clear coat and frame as wall art, clock faces, or custom dashboards. The 120-grit aluminum oxide creates a consistent satin pattern while the cloth-backed flaps conform to slight surface variations.
Comfort-Chamfered Wooden Utensils
Carve spoons/spatulas, then use the flap wheel to soft-chamfer and blend all edges and finger grips. The small diameter allows precise shaping around bowls and necks, leaving a uniform 120-grit surface ready for final sanding and oiling.
Knife Spine and Handle Rounding
For handmade or refurbished knives, round over the spine, choil, and handle scales to improve ergonomics. The 3/4 in wheel reaches tight radii and blends transitions cleanly without gouging, producing a professional satin finish before hand-polish.
Brushed Metal Coat Rack from Reclaimed Steel
Cut and drill reclaimed flat bar, then deburr holes and edges, and apply a decorative brushed finish with the flap wheel. Add hooks and mount to a board for an industrial-look coat rack with smooth, finger-safe edges.
Epoxy/Charcuterie Board Edge Blending
After planing and sanding, use the flap wheel to create even, soft bevels around hardwood and epoxy inlays. Its cloth-backed flaps follow subtle contours, giving a consistent satin edge that highlights the board’s outline.
