3M 7000122251 Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel 6 in 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000122251 is an aluminum oxide flap wheel designed for grinding, blending, finishing, and cleaning operations on metal workpieces. The coated abrasive flaps deliver aggressive stock removal while producing a straight-line finish on inside and outside diameters. A steel mandrel supports the wheel during operation, reducing chatter and operator fatigue. At 6 inches in diameter and rated at 80 grit, this wheel suits a broad range of material removal tasks on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking trades use it for consistent, controlled results across contoured and radiused surfaces.

This flap wheel is used in metalworking environments where surface preparation, weld blending, deburring, or finishing work is required on curved or irregular profiles. The 80 grit aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly and handles both ferrous and non-ferrous base materials. It is suited for shop floor, fabrication, and maintenance applications where a controlled, repeatable finish is needed on inside and outside diameters of tubes, pipes, bores, and similar workpieces.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Coated flap construction provides aggressive stock removal, blending, finishing, and cleaning
• Flaps conform to contoured and radiused surfaces for consistent coverage
• Produces a straight-line finish on inside and outside diameters
• Steel mandrel reduces chatter and operator fatigue during extended use
• 80 grit rating suits medium stock removal and blending tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or direct-use flap wheel for metalworking and fabrication applications requiring a 6-inch diameter aluminum oxide abrasive wheel with mandrel attachment.

Installation Notes

This wheel is installed by metalworking or fabrication professionals on compatible rotary tools, bench grinders, or die grinders that accept the mandrel attachment. Ensure the spindle speed rating of the tool does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the wheel before mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never use a damaged or out-of-balance flap wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating abrasive wheels.
