Weiler Vortec Flap Wheel 30723
The Weiler Vortec mounted flap wheel 30723 is an abrasive tool built for grinding and finishing metal surfaces. It uses aluminum oxide grain on a cotton backing rated X weight for durability. The 1/4 inch straight shank fits standard die grinders and rotary tools used in fabrication or maintenance shops.
Coarse 80 grit sustained material removal
The coarse 80 grit grade removes material quickly while the flap design continuously exposes fresh abrasive. Aluminum oxide grain resists dulling during extended contact with steel or iron. The wheel runs at a maximum operating speed of 25,000 RPM without losing flap integrity under load.
Quarter inch shank installs in seconds
The 1/4 inch straight shank inserts directly into a collet or chuck and tightens with a standard wrench. No adapters or mandrels are required for compatible tools. Running the wheel above 25,000 RPM can cause flap separation and unsafe vibration.

Questions about this item
How hot or loud does the Vortec 30723 get when run continuously at 25,000 RPM?
The flap wheel itself produces no heat or noise; all sound and temperature come from the rotary tool driving it, so continuous use feels like running that tool unloaded.
What shank size must my rotary tool accept to mount the 30723?
A straight 1/4 in shank is required; any die grinder, rotary tool or drill chuck that grips 1/4 in shanks will hold the wheel securely.
Will the 80-grit aluminum-oxide flaps damage softer metals I keep in the shop?
The coarse 80 grit removes material quickly, so on soft aluminium, brass or copper it can leave deep scratches unless you use light pressure and keep the wheel moving.
