Arc Abrasives 11172 Flap Wheel 120 Grit 1x1x1/4 Inch

Product Description

The ARC ABRASIVES 11172 is a 120-grit flap wheel designed for light finishing and deburring on metal and other surfaces. The wheel measures 1 inch in diameter by 1 inch in width with a 1/4-inch arbor shank, making it suitable for use with rotary tools and die grinders. Built on a cotton cloth backing, the flap construction allows the wheel to conform to irregular surface profiles and contours. As each flap wears, fresh abrasive grain is continuously exposed, maintaining consistent cut rate and surface finish throughout the wheel's service life. This part is installed by machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who require controlled material removal and surface refinement.

The 11172 flap wheel is suited for applications requiring access to confined or awkward geometry, including inside angles, internal pipe surfaces, weld cleanup in tight joints, and contoured workpiece profiles. The 120-grit rating positions this wheel for fine deburring and light surface conditioning rather than aggressive stock removal. It is well matched for finishing stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and similar materials in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 120-grit abrasive for light finishing and controlled deburring
• Cotton cloth backing conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces
• Continuous grain exposure as flaps wear for consistent cutting action
• 1/4-inch shank fits standard die grinders and rotary tools
• Compact 1 inch x 1 inch profile provides access to tight angles and internal pipe surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with die grinders and rotary tools accepting a 1/4-inch shank arbor; suitable for light finishing and deburring on metal fabrication, pipe, and general maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This flap wheel is installed and operated by machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators using compatible rotary tools or die grinders. Confirm the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the wheel's maximum operating speed before use. Always power down and disconnect the tool before mounting or removing the wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves during operation.
