Mounted flap wheels
The wheel has a shank. Match a plain 1/4-inch shank to a suitable chuck or collet. A 1/4-20 threaded shank needs a matching threaded attachment; it is a different connection.

The wheel has a center arbor hole. Match the selected bore, wheel diameter and face width to the spindle, flanges and guard. Arbor options vary by product.
Check the RPM marked on the exact wheel against your machine’s operating speed before use. A matching shank or bore alone does not establish tool compatibility.
The first measurement is wheel diameter and the second is face width. For example, a 3 × 1-inch wheel has a 3-inch diameter and a 1-inch working face. Shank or arbor size is a separate measurement.
Choose the least aggressive grit that removes the existing marks, then refine in stages. Available grits vary by wheel size. Select the product to see its exact grit, mounting and pack options.
A coated-abrasive flap wheel leaves a sanding scratch pattern. For a bright final polish, prepare the surface first and use a separate compatible buffing wheel and material-matched compound. Compare metal polishing compound bars
