Merit Abrasives 08834123033 Flap Wheel 60 Grit 6x2 in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834123033 is a 6 x 2 inch unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and other hard materials. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, it delivers consistent cutting action across the full face of the wheel. Rated at a maximum of 6,000 RPM, this medium-grade, 60-grit wheel is suited for bench grinder or pedestal grinder setups where a 1-inch arbor hole is present. Fabricators, welders, and metalworking pros use this wheel for contour finishing and edge work that flat discs cannot reach effectively.

This flap wheel is a practical choice for general metalworking applications in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and job sites. The 6-inch outside diameter and 2-inch face width give it a broad contact surface for working curved or flat workpiece profiles. The cloth backing provides flexibility that helps the abrasive conform to irregular surfaces, making it effective for weld blending, rust removal, and surface prep before coating or painting. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard bench or pedestal grinders accepting a 1-inch arbor.
