Merit Abrasives 08834123036 Flap Wheel 120 Grit 6x2 in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834123036 is a 6 x 2 inch unmounted flap wheel designed for surface finishing, blending, and deburring on metal and similar substrates. Constructed with aluminum oxide abrasive on a cloth backing, this wheel delivers consistent fine-grade cutting action at up to 6,000 RPM. The 1 inch center hole allows mounting on compatible arbors and mandrels. At 120 grit, it is suited for finishing passes where surface smoothness is the priority rather than aggressive material removal. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance trades rely on this wheel type for edge work, weld blending, and contour finishing on cylindrical or irregular surfaces.

This flap wheel is applicable in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where coated abrasive finishing is performed on metal parts. It is well suited for use on drill presses, lathes, or handheld tools capable of accepting a 1 inch arbor. The 6 inch outside diameter and 2 inch width provide good surface contact for blending operations on larger workpieces or longer strokes on cylindrical stock. Fine 120 grit makes it appropriate as a finishing step following coarser material removal stages.

Key Features

• Cloth backing provides flexibility and durability during use
• 6 inch outside diameter by 2 inch width for broad surface contact
• 1 inch center hole fits standard arbors and mandrels

Compatibility

Designed as an unmounted flap wheel for use with drill presses, lathes, or rotary tool setups accepting a 1 inch arbor; verify spindle speed does not exceed 6,000 RPM before use.

Installation Notes

Installation of unmounted flap wheels should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive tooling. Disconnect and lock out all power to the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the machine spindle speed does not exceed the 6,000 RPM maximum rating of this wheel before operating. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and follow ANSI B7 safety standards for abrasive products.
