Measuring 8 inches in outside diameter by 2 inches wide with a 1-inch center hole, this coated abrasive wheel runs at a maximum of 4,500 RPM and delivers a very fine 180-grit finish. The cloth backing provides flexibility and durability through extended use. Metalworkers, fabricators, and machinists reach for this wheel when a consistent, fine-grade finish is needed on cylindrical or contoured surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flap wheel is suited for bench grinder or arbor-mounted applications where an unmounted configuration is required. It is commonly used in metal fabrication shops and manufacturing environments for finish grinding, light stock removal, and surface conditioning on pipe, tubing, and round stock. The 180-grit aluminum oxide abrasive is appropriate for final-pass finishing work where surface quality is the priority over aggressive material removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e180 grit, very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasive for refined surface finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated cloth backing provides flexibility and conformability on curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch outside diameter with 1-inch center hole fits standard arbor setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4,500 maximum RPM rating for safe operation at rated bench grinder speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch face width suits blending and deburring on cylindrical workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo interleaf construction for direct abrasive contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an unmounted flap wheel for use on bench grinders, arbor stands, or lathe-mounted setups accepting an 8-inch diameter wheel with a 1-inch center bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always power down and lock out the grinder or arbor before mounting or dismounting the wheel. Verify that the machine speed rating meets or does not exceed the 4,500 RPM maximum marked on the wheel before operating. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and ensure the arbor flanges and hardware are properly seated and tightened per the equipment manufacturer specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Very Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterleaf\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT ABRASIVES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08834123099\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560180416818,"sku":"08834123099","price":229.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d360e83c440251fd7d47300063e4f33a_69154733-d054-4384-b954-6f2c12c1b4f6.jpg?v=1786448449","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-abrasives-08834123099-flap-wheel-180-grit-8x2in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
