Livy--not sure what you really want. There all kinds of "flutter" and "flapper" wheels out there. Some require their own motor, but others will fit a drill press and/or power drill. Suggest you look at the sites listed to the left under "Other Great Sites" and click on "Retailers". Many of those listed--Rockler, Woodworker's Supply, Klingspore's, etc offer sanding wheels. Locally, you can usually find one at either Lowe's or Home Depot. Sometimes Sears will have one. Hope this helps.

Flapper Wheel
I'm not sure that you want to use a flapper wheel to clean out the inside of fretwork. You will lose all your sharp edges as the flapper wheel will tend to "round over" anything with corners. If you use a reverse tooth blade you should wind up with a pretty clean cut on both sides that will require only minimal light sanding on the back side of the work to remove any "fuzzies" that remain. Flapper wheels are generally used to soften the look of a piece on which you don't want "hard" edges. You generally want nice crisp edges on fretwork. Then again....maybe I don't totally understand exactly what you're wanting to do and I'm giving you poor advice!!!But my heart's in the right place.
If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

I don't remember which one I used but I think it was somewhere around #12 which is .029 diameter. Anything between 12 and 19 will work you would just adjust your slot width. There is a pattern for bending it to shape do you have that?-

Over the years I've found that cutting old wooden plates can be very rewarding. Most of them are very good wood and when you finish your cut out the plate already has a nice finish on it.. I normally buy mine at yard sales or Good Will whenever I can find them....
