Review on Dremel 502 3 8 Flapwheels by Jonny Dogruyol

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good flap grinder

Effectively removes burrs and grinds tool steel. Didn't self destruct on first use which is to be expected for parts in this price range but I'm used to things like this being short lived for so many uses. As there is no visible damage to the valves, hopefully they can be used a few times before replacement is required. Another reviewer commented on the photo and pointed to the multipack. Apparently the photo has been corrected, probably due to that person's recall. It is a single wheel permanently mounted on a standard diameter spindle. Suitable for various purposes, mainly for smoothing metals, for example after cutting with a cutting disc. Note: It will grind soft stone (like limestone or travertine) if you hold it for more than a few seconds instead of smoothing it out. If you don't hurry, he also sharpens wood. The video shows removing paint with it. I don't deny that it has this ability, but given its width of about 1cm, can you imagine that it can clean the entire wing? Personally, I stick with him for small jobs. Notice the significant time gap in the video where the demo starts what they just started before doing much in this area. It would take a long time for something that small. I haven't tested this, but given what he's done with the tool steel, it would be nice to put the center edge back on the lawnmower blade. It was quickly shaped and then flattened with a clipped nail. With brief use it removed rust from mild steel to bare metal. Downgraded one star because the product page didn't explain exactly what it would do on different surfaces. It generalizes usage, which gives you a rough idea, but from there it's hard to say exactly if it's going to be slick or smooth.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
