3M 898008 Mounted Flap Wheel 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 898008 is a mounted flap wheel designed for precision surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other hard substrates. It combines non-woven and coated abrasive construction with aluminum oxide media at 60 grit, placing it in the medium grade range for stock removal with a refined finish. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into a die grinder or drill press, making it a practical tool for machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need controlled abrasive action in tight profiles and contoured surfaces.

This mounted flap wheel is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light industrial finishing applications. The interleaf construction helps maintain consistent abrasive contact across the workpiece surface, extending usable wheel life. It is well matched to internal bore finishing, weld blending, and edge conditioning tasks where a rigid grinding disc would be impractical. Sold in packages of five, it is appropriate for both bench-level work and production line use by qualified trade personnel.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive at 60 grit for medium-grade material removal and surface blending
• Non-woven and coated abrasive construction combines conformability with cutting action
• Interleaf design maintains consistent abrasive exposure throughout wheel life
• 1/4-inch shank mount compatible with standard die grinders and drill chucks
• 3-inch outer diameter with 2-inch face width for broad contact on contoured surfaces
• Sold in a package of five units

Compatibility

Designed as a shank-mounted abrasive wheel for use with die grinders, straight grinders, or drill presses equipped with a 1/4-inch chuck or collet. Suitable for metal, composites, and similar hard materials requiring medium-grit surface conditioning.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by trained personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the rated maximum speed of the wheel before mounting. Secure the shank fully into the collet or chuck and confirm the workpiece is stable before applying power. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating mounted abrasive wheels.
