Rim flange
wear (continued)
There are many tools available to remove the sharp edge on the wheel caused by rim flange
wear. Here are some examples of commonly used tools:
File. A file can be used very effectively to remove the edge (photo 4).
Air or Electric Powered Sander. This provides a very quick and effective method of remov-
ing the edge. Operators should use all care to keep a uniform edge when using these tools
(photo 5).
Air or Electric Grinder. Another quick and effective method of removing the sharp edge
caused by rim flange wear. Be careful as grinding pads may “gum up” from the aluminum
that is removed (photo 6). Care must be used to avoid gouging the wheel.
