3M 7000122252 Aluminum Oxide Flap Wheel 6 Inch 120 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000122252 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive flap wheel designed for stock removal, blending, finishing, and cleaning on metal workpieces. The flap construction conforms to contoured, radiused, and irregular surfaces, making it effective on both inside and outside diameters. A steel mandrel supports the assembly, reducing chatter and operator fatigue during extended use. At 6 inches in diameter and 120 grit, this wheel is suited for aggressive material removal while leaving a consistent straight-line finish. Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly across ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This flap wheel is used in metal fabrication, welding cleanup, and surface preparation applications. It performs on cylindrical bores, pipe interiors, tube exteriors, and curved sheet metal surfaces. The 120 grit rating positions it for intermediate finishing work where controlled stock removal and uniform surface texture are required. Suitable for use in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments where consistent coverage across complex geometries is needed.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts quickly on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Flap design conforms to contoured and radiused surfaces for consistent coverage
• Produces a straight-line finish suitable for blending and finishing passes
• Steel mandrel reduces chatter and operator fatigue during use
• Effective on both inside and outside diameters of metal workpieces
• 120 grit for aggressive blending and intermediate finishing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use flap wheel for rotary tool setups and die grinders accepting a compatible mandrel attachment in metal fabrication and surface finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians. Verify the mandrel attachment matches the tool collet or chuck before mounting. Ensure the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the maximum rated speed of the wheel before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety protocols when operating abrasive wheels.
