3M 7100176128 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7100176128 is a mounted flap wheel abrasive designed for deburring, blending, and light grinding on metal surfaces. Constructed with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing with XE backing weight, it delivers consistent cut and finish across contoured and flat workpiece profiles. Rated at a maximum of 20,000 RPM, this wheel suits high-speed rotary tools and die grinders commonly used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians. The medium grade, 60-grit formulation removes material at a controlled rate while leaving a uniform surface finish. The threaded mount provides secure tool attachment during operation.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for use in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface conditioning applications. It works with standard threaded spindle die grinders and rotary tools found in manufacturing, HVAC sheet metal shops, and general maintenance environments. The 1-inch face width makes it well-suited for working in tight access areas, slots, and internal contours where larger wheels cannot reach. No interleaf material is present, keeping the design straightforward and cost-effective for general-purpose stock removal and blending tasks.

Compatibility

Designed for use with threaded spindle die grinders and rotary tools that accept standard mounted abrasive wheel accessories. Verify spindle thread size and maximum RPM rating of the host tool before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or technicians familiar with abrasive wheel safety practices. Always confirm the tool's maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds the wheel's 20,000 RPM rating before mounting. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before attaching or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and do not use a damaged wheel.
