162 MMS April 2017 mmsonline.com MODERN EQUIPMENT REVIEW Spotlight: Grinding A flexible yet strong heavy cotton backing wears evenly to deliver chat ter-free cut ting; longer life for fewer change-overs; and application f l e x i b i l i t y, a l l w h i l e e l i m i n a t i n g a g g r e s s i v e s a n d i n g a c t i o n . A f u l l r e s i n b o n d s y s t e m promotes high grain retention, increasing prod- uct life. Available in both spindle-mount and arbor- hole designs, the flap wheels enable close toler- ances when finishing cur ved, contoured and hard-to-reach areas, the company says. Capa- bility to wear and expose new grains at a controlled rate is said to make the spindle-mounted wheels well-suited for uneven surfaces. Shanks that run through the center of the wheel improve balance with spindle-mounted wheels and reduce chat- ter and operator fatigue. Norton Blaze R920 flap wheels are available in 1", 2" and 3", with 1 / 4 " steel shank sizes, and 6" × 1" × 1" in the arbor-hole design.
