ABSTRACT:
A flap wheel includes a hub with axially extending slots for receiving discrete packs, each pack including a clip receivable in the slot with walls projecting beyond the slot, and end caps fitting on the ends of the hub and including fingers interlaced with the ends of projecting packs projecting beyond the hub and dampening vibrations between the hub and packs. The end caps not only confine the flap packs in the hub slots, but also engage the projecting ends of the flap packs to dampen vibrations between the flap packs and the hub, and center the hub and tool on its axis of rotation.
