3M 7000000443 Flap Wheel Type 83 747D 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000000443 is a ceramic grain flap wheel, Type 83, designed for precision grinding and blending on contoured and flat surfaces. Built on an X-weight cloth backing with resin bonding for heat resistance, this wheel delivers consistent material removal with reduced heat buildup. A built-in grinding aid promotes cooler cutting, extending wheel life and protecting workpiece integrity. At 1 inch in diameter, 1 inch in width, and 1/4 inch arbor size, it fits standard die grinders and rotary tools used by metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance trades.

This flap wheel is suited for deburring, blending, and finishing operations on metal components in both shop and field environments. The 80-grit X-weight construction handles moderate to aggressive material removal, making it appropriate for weld blending, surface preparation, and edge conditioning. It is sold individually and is well-suited for repetitive production tasks as well as one-off repair work.
